How to play B♭13sus4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the A to the B at the 1st fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 3rd fret. Don’t play the low E string.
From the low E string x 1 1 1 1 3 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier B♭13sus4
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your ring finger on the low E string at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 6th fret, your index finger on the B string at the 4th fret and your little finger on the high E string at the 6th fret. Let the G string ring open.
