To play the Gsus chord, place the index finger on the 2nd fret of the C-string, ring finger on the 3rd fret of the E-string, and little finger on the 3rd fret of the bottom A-string. Let the other string ring open.
The Gsus chord contains the notes G-C-D.
In this case, the "sus" in the chord name, which means suspended is referring to a "sus4" note.
To build a Gsus chord, take the suspended fourth chord formula (1-4-5) and apply it to the G major scale (G, A, B, C, D, E, F#).
Identify the first, fourth, and fifth scale degrees in the G major scale which are G-C-D, which gives you a Gsus chord.
