About Dbsus2
The Dbsus2 chord is made up of Db (root), Eb (second) and Ab (perfect fifth). Its interval formula is 1 – 2 – 5. With no third it leaves the harmony undefined: it sounds open and modern, and it is used a lot in pop and rock.
Dbsus2 has no standard open shape in the CAGED system, so its 27 voicings are sorted only by difficulty and position on the neck. Another way to write Dbsus2 is C#sus2 (the same piano key, with a different name). Dbsus2 is the usual choice.
