Guitar 7sus4 Chords

"Hard Day's Night" by The Beatles and "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" by Joe Jackson are currently the only songs I know of where the guitar uses this fingering to play a 7sus4 chord. In "Hard Day's Night" it's a G7sus4 and the very first chord you hear before the verse begins. "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" uses the same chord along with an F7sus4 two frets lower during the bridge.

The most common type of 7sus4 chord is A7sus4 played in the open position. You can hear this exact fingering used in "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, "Tom Sawyer" by Rush, and "Closer I Am to Fine" by the Indigo Girls (capo 2).
