Questions about Fsus2

What notes are in a Fsus2 chord?

A Fsus2 chord contains the notes F, C, G. It is built from the suspended 2nd formula 1 - 2 - 5, with F as the root.

Is Fsus2 easier than F major?

About the same — both need the first-fret barre, which is the hard part. Fsus2 just moves one finger to swap the third for the second. If your F major barre is solid, Fsus2 costs you nothing extra and gives an F-heavy progression a welcome change of colour.
