Thanks for getting back to me. I'm just starting to learn jazz chords. I never thought about a barre :)

I'm fretting it with one finger per note. So it would be:

e - x

B - 3 ring

G - 5 pinky

D - 3 middle

A - x[br]E - 3 index

The chord isn't part of a song. I just wrote out a series of 7th chords (Major7, minor7, Dom7, Sus7, Aug7, m7b5, dim7, minMaj7) and I ended up writing a Asus7 chord which I then really struggled to fret. I'm glad to hear this is not a common voicing/commonly used chord.

I'm not sure how much I need to have this chord in my repertoire. I just stumbled across it and it threw me. I'll check out your video later tonight.
