Eb Chord Progressions: Suspended Triads

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

Isus2. Ebsus2 (Eb-F-Bb)
I. Eb major (Eb-G-Bb)
Isus4. Ebsus4 (Eb-Ab-Bb)

iisus2. Fsus2 (F-G-C)
ii. Fm (F-Ab-C)
iisus4. Fsus4 (F-Bb-C)

iii. Gm (G-Bb-D)

IV. Ab major (Ab-C-Eb)

Vsus2. Bbsus2 (Bb-C-F)
V. Bb major (Bb-D-F)
Vsus4. Bbsus4 (Bb-Eb-F)

visus2. Csus2 (C-D-G)

visus4. Csus4 (C-F-G)

vii(b5). Ddim (D-F-Ab)

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.
