What is true of it

E7sus4 is E, A, B and D — 1, 4, 5 and b7 counted from E.

On an instrument that cannot reach all 4, the 5 goes first, in that order.

The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is 000200: one finger, held at the 2nd fret.

3 of them use open strings, which is what makes a shape quiet to change to.

The brass dots are E, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
