Play it easier with a capo

  • Capo on fret 2 + Esus4 shape → sounds as F♯sus4
  • Capo on fret 4 + Dsus4 shape → sounds as F♯sus4

If barre chords are hard, clamp a capo and play an open shape — it sounds exactly the same. The Buskermate app can move a whole chord sheet to any capo position for you.
