Converting G to Gsus4
G major is G(1) B(3) and D(5). So to convert G to
Gsus4 I need to raise the B(3) on the 5th string and 2nd string
up a half step to C(4).

G
||---|---|-G-|---|
1 -1st string
B||---|---|---|---| 3
G||---|---|---|---| 1
D||---|---|---|---| 5
||---|-B-|---|---| 3
||---|---|-G-|---| 1 -6th string
G
= 1, B = 3, D = 5

G||---|---|---|---| 1

G

Here is a suggested fingering for the chord.

That chord is a handful, so if you want a little more finger
friendly version, just mute the 5th string.
