Do these chords seem right for the traditional Lord's Prayer? I found some in the Bing search engine but not the traditional one, so these chords may not be traditional. I didn't post the whole work with chords and words because I thought that might violate something.
Intro: C# F# D# F#m G#sus4 G#
G# C# Fm D#m G#7
C# D#m G# C#
Bbm Fsus4 Fm C# G# F# F
Etcetera
How would you create the Fsus4 here on pedal steel guitar?
Thank you;
Sherman

| I can't comment on the chords of the tune but the Fsus4 is easy. Bar at first fret; play strings 4, 5 & 6 and press just the B floor pedal (the one that raises the 3rd and 6th strings a half tone; usually the second floor pedal). The 6th string with the B pedal gives you a suspended chord. |

Paul,
Do I have it right, the sus4 at any major cord fret with B pedal on strings 4,5,6..is the sus4? Like Esus4 is open with B or at 13 with B? I have been looking for that cord. I am guessing that it is used as a passing cord?
Sherman,
I was wondering if you have listened to Ron Elliot's version of the Lord's Prayer? It is the best I have heard. Beautiful tune. I think he sells a track for it. |

| Fsus is also at frets 4,6,8,9. And for some setups, also at frets 3 and 11. |

Thank you to all. Tamara, I have the Ron Elliots tapes but the tape player and the tapes are packed up. I will have to hook up the player. I have another one from a Nashville Belmont (sp) student which is really good. I think it is in E.

I think it was Jonathan Cullifer. Look at his site http://www.atlserver.net/

| Tamara: I believe you have the idea; but the Esus4 would be at the twelfth fret, not the 13th. It is a kind of passing chord that always (or almost always) resolves to the major chord of the same name. In the key of E you would play Esus4 followed by E; so you simply play strings 4,5 & 6 with the B pedal down and then release the B pedal. There are other ways to play this, but this should get you started. Have fun. |

Yes, the 12th fret. I knew that. Senior moment, I guess. Seems like the cord can be used in place of a 7th cord. I like it. I believe I have played that cord several times and just didn't know what to call it. I reconized the sound when I tried it. It fits nicely in the melody when trying to stay in the right cord. Thanks so much for explaining it. I like knowing what to call the sound I am looking for. It's like naming a pet when you take it into the family. This is good stuff. |

The Sus4 can be used to replace a major chord, the third is raised (suspended) and likes to resolve to the third. If you're replacing a seventh chord it would be actually be more like an 11th chord withour the seventh and ninth tones. I hope that's not too confusing...
