Chordplay - Eddie Van Halen's Sus Chord Magic

Here's the next episode of Chordplay with 'Eddie Van Halen's Sus Chord Magic.' This lesson's the continuation of the recent 'Finding Sus Chord' Chordplay episode and focuses on the late-great Edward Van Halen's approach to using these useful and popular suspended chords on the guitar, so buckle up - this is going to be fun!

While there's plenty of sus chord activity in Van Halen's music, I chose to stick with some of the lesser-known and commonly overlooked cuts in the classic Roth-era for this episode, so we're tapping into some new ground and digging deeper into Eddie's bag of tricks and wealth of music.

The ideas shared in this lesson center around Eddie's application of sus chords in songs such as 'Secrets,' Girl Gone Bad,' In A Simple Rhyme,' Little Guitars,' and more! So while you may be familiar with sus chords and know a few ways of getting these sounds on the guitar, it's always a good idea to tackle some new moves and ideas from a master like EVH, and his mastery of using sus chords along with other chord varieties is evident in this lesson.
