How ic Csus done? Is that the usual two fingers extra, like he does Start me up, Browns sugar and the rest of the 5 string songs?

What's this with the Csus?
C chord with + 2 finger hammer-on makes up for an F, doesn't it?

so the intro goes
D, F, D, C, G, Bb

it does, theoretically, but if you actually play it in open G tuning, the sound is different from playing F in the 10th fret. Keith plays the song with the Csus, you can see it on some videos, saitama for example. He even uses the Csus chord in the verses.

I know... just observing what keith does. and trust me F in the 10th fret and the two fingers extra in Csus DO sound slightly different. winking smiley
