How to play G13sus4 on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the three strings from the low E to the D at the 3rd fret and your middle finger on the B string at the 3rd fret. Let the G and high E strings ring open.

An easier G13sus4
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 D string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 5th fret and your ring finger on the B string at the 6th fret. Let the high E string ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
