About the G# suspended 2nd chord
A suspended 2nd chord replaces the third with a major second, creating an open and ambiguous sound that is neither major nor minor. This gives it a floating, unresolved quality that works well for creating atmosphere. Sus2 chords are popular in rock, pop, ambient, and folk music.
