How to play E♭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 6th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 8th fret and your little finger on the B string at the 9th fret. Don’t play the low E string.
From the low E string x 6 8 6 9 6 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier E♭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 6th fret, your ring finger on the D string at the 6th fret, your ring finger on the G 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. Don’t play the low E string.
