How to play G7sus4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the six strings at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 5th fret and your little finger on the G string at the 5th fret.
From the low E string 3 5 3 5 3 3 (x: not played, 0: open)
An easier G7sus4
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the B string at the 1st fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 1st fret. Let the D and G strings ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
