Question:
I'm looking for info on how to form the G2,C2,D2 and A2 chords that I've been seeing in comtemporary christian music.
Answer:
Let's try the Theory and Technique forum.
Thread moved.
Answer:
G2:
300033
C2:
X32033
D2:
XX0320
A2:
002200
Answer:
Thanks a bundle Steve that helps alot!
Answer:
For all intents and purposes, the 2 chord is always a misnomer for a sus2 chord, or an add9 chord.
Answer:
G2 can also be played 3x0233. Sometimes I like that voicing better than the previously-stated 300033.

Answer:
And we here in the T&T forum are sticklers for details.
Minor-er detail, but that's an Asus2.
Answer:
The C2 means a C chord adding the next note, namely a D. So you can play it 030033 (or x30033 if you count C "in the bass").

Which is why it's improperly called a "2" chord as it's highly unlikely that the actual 2 note sounds the least bit pleasing sitting right next to the root note.
The add9 would be the more pleasant sounding alternative and it's also the one that's normally played when the worship guitarist's favorite "C2" is listed (incorrectly) on a guitar chart.
Also, the chord you have listed (030033) is a C5add2add9/E unless you're considering it some kind of inversion of a C maj. triad (which it is, but still...).

hehe, i'd really like to see the face of the regular worship-music-guitarist (unlike the elite players here :P) when looking at the chord and trying to "manually" build it, just to finally find out that it's his/her oh-so-simple (but "fake") C2

oh-so-simple is sometimes oh-so-wrong
Answer:
Wouldn't "add2add9" be a little redundant? I get why you'd call it that, but I'd personally just call it add9. (I might be tempted to call it Csus2/E, but since E is the third of the C chord, thus implying the major tonality, meaning it isn't a true suspension...)...
Bah, my head hurts.

Bah, my head hurts.
I was refering specifically to the 030033 chord that was posted.
It has redundant 2nds, two 5's, two C's and a 3rd in the bass.
It's also a mess of a chord to listen to, imho.
Acceptable alternatives would be:
03x033 = Cadd9/E
x32033 = Cadd9
x3x033 = Csus2 (if you MUST have a number "2" somewhere...seems to be a rule among guitar players or something...)
