Let's say I'm playing a Gsus7 Chord like this:

e - x

B - 3

G - 5

D - 3

A - x

E - 3

My pinky mutes the B string D note big time. As I slide this shape up the neck of the guitar, I'm only able to hear the B string note as I approach the Bsus7 or Csus7 chords.

I'm hoping this is a common problem. I'm guessing there isn't an easy solution to fretting it to get all the notes to ring out.

I guess I'm just posting to see if others have/had this problem and to see if I'm missing something when I try to play it.
