Dsus4

About this chord

Dsus4 has a bold, suspended, and anticipatory mood—open, ringing, and slightly tense with a triumphant, anthemic feel. A rock and pop staple, it drives power-ballads and indie choruses, but also fits folk strumming and cinematic underscore. Common in Celtic-influenced and British rock textures, it can hint at modal, drone-like folk traditions. Technically beginner-friendly in open position on guitar, yet versatile with power-chord and pedal-point voicings on keys. Often used to create tension that resolves to D or D5, making it perfect for build-ups, hooks, and shimmering cadences; aliases: Dsus, D suspended 4th.
