E7sus2sus4 (Guitar, Intermediate)


To be fair, E7sus2sus4 can easily be stated as D/E.

As E7sus2sus4:
D string = E (root note)
G string = A (suspended 4th)
B string = D (dominant 7th)
High E string = F# (suspended 2nd)

As D/E:
D string = E (alternate bass note, instead of the root note D)
G string = A (perfect 5th)
B string = D (root note)
High E string = F# (major 3rd)

This is essentially a D major chord with an alternate bass note of E.
