How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the strings, from low E (left) to high E (right), and the horizontal lines are the frets. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use: 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (pinky). An X means don't play that string; an O means play it open. A bar spanning multiple strings means one finger presses across all of them at once — this is known as a barre chord.
Tips & Tricks
The barre voicing at the 2nd fret based on the Esus2 shape is the most practical option. Open strings don't help much in this key. The sus2 sound is popular in alternative rock — think of it as the "dreamy" version of F# major.
