F♯sus2 (F♯sus2)

Also called G♭sus2 (G♭sus2).

The third is replaced by the second, so the chord is neither major nor minor. An open sound, often used to color a major chord.

There’s no open shape: it’s played as a barre chord, starting at the 9th fret. It’s mostly used to add movement to F♯ major, which it resolves to.
