G maj7sus2 — Cuban Tres

G maj7sus2 stacks G – A – D – F#. Each chart below places those tones on the Cuban Tres's GCE courses and names the fret and finger holding each one — tap a chart to hear it.

Three courses is not many strings for a chord, and that scarcity is the style: a tres almost never holds a chord still — it spells the harmony as a guajeo, a repeating two-bar figure that arpeggiates the changes note by note while the rest of the band supplies the block chords. A voicing here is really a set of stations the figure passes through.

Voicings are computed for this tuning by the shared voicing generator, not borrowed from another instrument; traditional technique may still use idiomatic shapes not charted here.

Then set it moving: put the root on a strong beat, walk the remaining tones as even eighths, and loop the bar until the figure sits inside the pulse without you counting it. On this instrument the chord you can only strum is a chord you do not own yet.
