How to play C♯7sus4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the five strings from the A to the high E at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 6th fret and your little finger on the B string at the 7th fret. Don’t play the low E string.

An easier C♯7sus4
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 A string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 4th fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 4th fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the B string ring open. Don’t play the low E string.
