The Fsus2 chord contains F, G and C. Its formula is 1–2–5: G, the second above F, replaces the third. Find the three notes, then compare root position and two inversions.
Build the Fsus2 chord by keeping F and C from F major and replacing A with G. F to G spans two semitones; F to C spans seven. Neither A nor A♭ belongs to this three-note suspended collection.
Preserve the written note spelling shown for this chord.
Choose a position to keep the written notes, sounding keys, bass note, playback and print reference synchronized.
Build the Fsus2 chord by selecting F, G and C in the exercise. Choosing A instead of G produces F major; choosing B♭ produces Fsus4. The check compares pitch classes, so selection order does not determine an inversion.
Fsus2 uses 1–2–5: F–G–C.
Compared with F major, replace the third with the second.
The chord tones stay the same while the lowest chord tone changes.
| Position | Symbol | Notes, low to high | Bass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root position, current selection | Fsus2 | F4–G4–C5 | F4 |
| First inversion | Fsus2/G | G4–C5–F5 | G4 |
| Second inversion | Fsus2/C | C5–F5–G5 | C5 |
The Fsus2 chord diagrams show pitches and their order, without prescribing finger numbers. Each inversion keeps F, G and C while changing the bass. Read the octave labels before choosing a comfortable hand position.
Use the written notes, keyboard positions and playback without treating the diagram as a required hand shape.

Supports: sus2 chord formula and written tone pattern
Scope: Supports the chord formula and spelling only; keyboard layouts are PianoGrid examples, and no fingering is assigned.
F, G and C: root, major second and perfect fifth. There is no major or minor third in this collection.
The Fsus2 chord uses G, the second above F. Fsus4 uses B♭, the fourth. Both retain F and C and omit the third.
Some references use F2 for the Fsus2 chord. If a score uses an abbreviated symbol, check its written pitches or chord legend; do not add A to the three-note collection shown here.
G starts the first inversion and C the second; root position starts on F. Select each option to compare its written note order, keyboard and sound.
Select the three pitch classes that make Fsus2, then check your answer.
This one-octave exercise checks pitch classes. Order and octave do not affect the result; fingering and live performance are not assessed.
One octave, C through B. Select a key again to remove it.
