Well, a major chord would be like this
(low to high)
x 8 10 10 10 x
those four notes are F C F A
The reason we call that a major chord is because it consists of the 1st, 3rd and 5th degree of the F major scale:
1 = F
3 = A
5 = C
In a suspended chord, the 3rd is left out and replaced with a different note. In the case of Fsus2 we've taken the 3rd out and replaced it with a G, which is the 2nd degree of the F major scale.
That leaves us with Fsus2 which looks like:
Fsus2 x 8 10 10 8 x
Hope that helps. The internet isn't the best way to give guitar lessons.
