Greetings, Alan Thornton taught me an embellishment of the C chord (C tuning) that is 1st string 3rd fret, 2nd string 1st fret. I couldn't find this on my chord charts and I was wondering if it had a name? TIA, g2

I also hold this belief. I featured it extensively in my original "Ladybug Philosophy".

It's also an Fsus2.

That's the cool thing about sus chords. Any sus4 is a sus2 a fifth lower (or a fourth higher). It all depends on what you consider to be the "root" of the chord.
