Pop improvisation in E (suspended) New
Same relative scale (C# minor pentatonic, position 1) as the full-chord version, applied here over the suspended grid Esus4-E-Asus2-A: the scale notes stay the same, only the chord colour changes.
Tips
Suspended chords delay the third: avoid leaning on the scale's third during the Esus4/Asus2 bars, it will sound more resolved once the chord settles onto E or A.
