Yes, that's the standard fingering.

[quote=derektrimmer]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.

That's a good list of extended chords typically used in jazz. Have you seen my series of tutorials cover this? I put them in typical chord progressions with backing track play alongs.

And I have several other tutorials on jazz style.

[quote=derektrimmer]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.

It can't hurt to know lots of chords & expand you knowledge & skills. But it's just as important to priortize & learn things you know that you will use on a regular basis.

Hope this helps!
