G Chord Progressions: Suspended Triads

Adding to yesterday's list of triads, here are some more simple triads in the key of G major, replacing the third note with either a suspended 2nd or suspended 4th:

Isus2. Gsus2 (G-A-D)
I. G major (G-B-D)
Isus4. Gsus4 (G-C-D)

iisus2. Asus2 (A-B-E)
ii. Am (A-C-E)
iisus4. Asus4 (A-D-E)

iii. Bm (B-D-F#)
iiisus4. Bsus4 (B-E-F#)

IVsus2. Csus2 (C-D-G)
IV. C major (C-E-G)

Vsus2. Dsus2 (D-E-A)
V. D major (D-F#-A)
Vsus4. Dsus4 (D-G-A)

visus2. Esus2 (E-F#-B)
vi. Em (E-G-B)
visus4. Esus4 (E-A-B)

vii(b5). F#dim (F#-A-C)

To spice up your chord progressions, use a suspended 2nd or suspended 4th instead of or in addition to the basic major and minor chords.
