I've got a question about this though...Isn't the 7sus4 also just an 11 chord? -- 1 4 5 b7 = 1 5 b7 11? Because if I were to voice the 4th interval higher than the b7 I would get an interval of an 11th instead of a 4th. Are they synonymous? Short answer - yes, 11 or 4 replaces major 3rd. On guitar, due to our limits of how many notes we can grab at one time we regularly abbreviate chord spelling and naming. Consequently, in the wild you'll hear folks refer to 11ths and sus4s interchangeably regardless of the octave of the extension. *Same with 6ths and 13ths. It's probably regional (a lot of nomenclature is) but out here on the coast a sus4 or just plain sus implies only Root, 5th, b7th and 4th (you can double the root and 5th and sometimes the 7th). 11th generally implies that it's a dominant 7th chord and many times will also include the 9th. A common voicing would be: 5X543X = A11 (A G B D low to high). *You can sometimes see this chord written as G/A (G with A in the bass). 'Less' common is a sus4 or 11th chord that also contains a Major 3rd. Example: 5X563X (A G C# D) or X 12 12 12 12 9 (A D G B C#) In a chord chart these can be notated in a few ways: Asus4 w/3 or A11 w/3 or A7sus w/3 *Though my two examples of sus w/3 are of the jazzier variety there's a very, very common rock voicing that most of use all the time: XX403X - Dsus4 w/3 (no root).
