How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the strings, from low E (left) to high E (right), and the horizontal lines are the frets. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use: 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (pinky). An X means don't play that string; an O means play it open. A bar spanning multiple strings means one finger presses across all of them at once — this is known as a barre chord.
Tips & Tricks
Barre at the 4th fret and use your pinky for the sus4 note (C#). The 4th-fret position offers good leverage for the pinky stretch. Practice resolving G#sus4 to G# major — it's a fundamental dominant-function resolution.
