The notes in Gsus2
Because the uke's high-G string is re-entrant (it's a high note, not a bass), these notes don't stack low-to-high like a guitar — but the chord is the same: G (R), A (2), D (5).
What a suspended second chord is
a sus2 replaces the third with the second (root, 2nd, 5th) — no third means no major or minor, just open air.
How it's used: Not really major or minor, it colours any chord it stands in for. Let a sus2 ring, then drop the third back in and the chord 'resolves'.
The sound: Open, chiming, ambiguous — bright but unfixed. Where you'll hear it: Ringing acoustic and arena-rock parts, ambient and dream-pop textures.
