what are sus and 2nd chords?

Q. ok, some im starting a praise band for my youth group and i play guitar. ive played for about 2 1/2 years, but i cant learn any of the songs because the chords are really wierd. theyre like, c2 and Bsus. what are they? help please!

A. Chester is correct.

It's incomplete for a chord to read "Bsus". It should say Bsus2 or Bsus4. And C2 should read Cadd2. Suspended chords are used extensively in today's Christian rock music, so if you're not familiar with them, get a chord book or chart. Sometimes suspended chords are played against major chords; that is, the piano might be playing a G chord, while the guitar is playing a Gsus4 against it, or a riff from the notes of a Gsus4. It's not a bad clash but it takes some getting used to, at least for someone of my generation (almost 50). It's actually kind o' cool.

The tune I linked is an example of a sus chord riff being played against a major chord, especially at the chorus, around 1 minute in. One guitar is playing an E chord-based riff that alternates between A and G#, giving it a back-and-forth between Esus4 and E major. It gently clashes with the other instruments, making the song a bit more edgy.

Original Question

Chords for Wonderwall - Oasis without capo?
Q. I want to play it o the piano and I need the original chords ( how it sounds) to play with the guitar that is playing(with capo on 2nd):

[F#m7] [A] [Esus4] [B7sus4] (x4) etc.....

A. The best place to try would be a local shop, that sells instruments, and gives lessons. They either carry for their students, or are often willing to order sheet music for students, or for other customers to learn. Online sources aren't always accurate, or reliable in completion. Especially when they're compared side by side.

Original Question

What piano chord is D E A B?
Q.

A. This depends on what you consider to be the root of the chord. I see this as either D, E, or A as the root.

E7sus4, also notated as E7sus or E7-4 - all of these are proper and mean the same thing.
(E, A, B, D)

If the D is the bass note but not the root, you may want to write Esus4/D
(D[bass note], E, A, B)

Alternatively, if D is the root, it could be viewed as a Dsus2(add6)
(D, E, A, B)

If a G fits in the voicing (you'll have to play it and see if that's the sound you like) then it could also be an A9sus (A, D, E, G, B)
