A general overview of the suspended sound. I've talked about this type of thing before so I apologize if you've heard this stuff before. I just think it's a very valuable sound and thought it would be good to talk about.

Great stuff for sure! I don't remember what is the video where you play a minor pentatonic from the 5 of the super sus chord...?

I honestly don't remember, but that's really all you need to know. When you see a super sus, go to the 5th and start playing minor pentatonic/minor 7 arpeggio and It'll work perfect. Could also see a super sus and go back a whole step and play MAJOR pentatonic, which will yield the same result as minor pent on the 5th. For example: You see A super sus: Play E MINOR pent OR Play G MAJOR pent Works because E minor and G major have the same pentatonic scales. This is because they are relative major and minor, and the defining factor of relative major and minor is the two sounds having identical pentatonics!
