Thanks for the explanations, everyone - I think I get it now! Basically, if
a chord has the root, third, and fifth and then an additional note - it's an
"add X"... If it's missing the 3rd and has the 4th - it's a sus or sus4.
If it's missing the 3rd and has the 2nd it's a sus2...
Yup. Some might get confused about what "sus2" means exactly, but hey, if you knew exactly what it was going to sound like already, then why bother playing it? 8-)
Is that about it?!
Oh no! That's it for YOUR problem, but we're still going to discuss it some more among ourselves, and misread each other's answers, and disagree on basic premises and history, and accuse each other of not understanding essential musical thought, and insult each other's taste, education, nationality, and parentage, and get even more heated, and scuffle in a corner somewhere until the bartender has to call the police, then we'll lend each other handkerchiefs for each other's bloodied noses and get drunk and end up the evening hugging and yelling blearily "I love ya, man!" in between scatting choruses of favourite Miles Davis solos out-of-tune over the jukebox blaring "Material Girl" until we have to be helped into a cab home.
That's how these discussions have usually gone in the past, anyway.
