How do you play F7sus4 on guitar?

The main shape is 1 1 1 3 1 1 (Barre (1st fret, E-string root)). Finger by finger:

Lay your index finger flat across the low E to high e strings at fret 1. This is the barre.
Put your ring finger (3) on the G string at fret 3 (Bb, the perfect 4th).
Strum, then pick each string one at a time and fix any string that buzzes or is silent.

This is a barre chord, so it takes a few weeks to sound clean. Keep the index finger straight and close to the fret wire, pull back gently with the arm rather than squeezing with the thumb, and check each string one at a time. The finger stretching exercises help with the reach.
