Formula 1 4 5 b7, so C7sus4 would have the notes C, F, G, Bb. Most useful as a V chord, so C7sus4 comes into its own in the key of F.

Here are moveable 7sus4 chords based on the five CAGED shapes.

Db7sus4 (C shape): x46422 (Barre the top two strings with 1st finger)

Bb7sus4 (A shape): x13141

Ab7sus4 (G shape): 4x1122 (Barre the top two strings with 2nd finger)

F7sus4 (E shape): 131311 or 131341

To all those making silent howls of protest at the non-appearance of this discussion last Saturday, I apologize - I was on holiday and clearly enjoying myself too much, neglecting my solemn responsibilities to the Great God theFretBoard Technique Forum.

The E-shape 7sus4 mentioned is the shape found in The Boys are Back by Thin Lizzy, at the second fret, thus being an F#7sus4.
