How to play F7sus4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the six strings at the 1st fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the G string at the 3rd fret.

An easier F7sus4
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 D string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the G string at the 3rd fret, your little finger on the B string at the 4th fret and your index finger on the high E string at the 1st fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
