Recently I've discovered that Esus4
chord can be built by using notes from C major
scale (Esus4 notes: E-A-B - no 'sharps' or 'flats'). But I don't know how can I use the chord in the keys of C
or Am
I tried to find some ways to use the Esus4
. For example, if I play the four chords (I
, IV
, V
, vi
) and continue the progression like this...
C - F - Am - G - Csus2 - Dm7 - Esus4...
Well... as far as I can tell, I have three options here. I can either resolve Esus4
into Am
straightaway
... - Esus4 - Am
I can add E major chord in between (using the G#
from A harmonic minor)
... - Esus4 - E - Am
Or I can use that big climactic moment to modulate into the A major (instead of resolving E
into Am
)
... - Esus4 - E - (wait a bit here) - A(sus4)
These, again, are the ways of using Esus4
chord in the keys of C or Am which I could think of. I would be happy to know if there are any other ways though!
