Csus4 chord guide

The Csus4 chord

A sus4 chord swaps the 3rd for the 4th. The 4th wants to fall back to the 3rd, so sus4 chords usually resolve to the major chord on the same root.

Numbers on the dots are fingers: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky. ○ means play the string open and × means don't play it. Orange marks the root note. The tab reads from the low E string to the high E string.
