Discuss the Guitar lesson: Learning Suspensions

https://banjobenclark.com/lessons/learning-suspensions-guitar

Whether finger picking, cross picking, or simply playing chords, an understanding of how chord suspensions work is vital for all guitar players! Most every guitar picker probably plays a suspension here or there, but may not even know what they’re doing. In this lesson, you’ll learn the origins behind suspended chords and how to use them in your playing!

Just making sure I’m understanding that on the Sus chords you will always take the 3 tone out and replace that tone with a 2nd or a 4th.
