How to play Gmaj9sus4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the G to the high E at the 2nd fret, your middle finger on the low E string at the 3rd fret, your ring finger on the A string at the 3rd fret and your little finger on the B string at the 3rd fret. Let the D string ring open.

An easier Gmaj9sus4
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 3rd fret, your index finger on the B string at the 1st fret and your middle finger on the high E string at the 2nd fret. Let the A, D and G strings ring open.
