Gsus. Christ!

 Gsus walked into a barbeque where his friends saw him and approached. 


"Is that really you?" asked D7b9. "There's something peculiar going on."

"Oh, that's probably because a lot of people refer to me as Gsus4, but the only difference that makes it that my C is exposed."

"Well, we could have mistaken you for Gsus2.' said Am7b5. "Come and have something to eat. 

Gsus chose a piece of fish, a slice of bread, a small baked potato and a sausage roll. At this point his friends were relieved to know that it was in fact Gsus4. They really had it sussed now.

Gsus was back among them, after having been 'murdered' by a group of rock musicians who like to just shove chords anywhere. Gsus liked to resolve onto a G chord. 

* * *

Gsus knew that some Classical musicians had been praying for guidance and believed that the answers existed in what they called four part harmony. This was just a system that existed at a certain point in time and rules, like having no consecutive fifths, did not matter anymore.


* * *

Everyone at the barbeque knew that there was no chord called Dvine nor Evine, for that matter.

* * *

Gsus chatted to a minor chord about resolutions, but the minor chord was disinterested. Gsus even tried to talk about voicings with just a 3rd and a 7th. "Poor old minor chords." thought Gsus, "They are far too interested in heading towards a dominant 7th chord. Why won't they try a tritone substitution?"
