Chord Of The Week 28/5/16 - a C9sus4 in the style of Robben Ford

6 weeks ago, before I was rudely interrupted by the death of Prince, I was promising to cover this chord, which is a variation on the C9 8x8758 I covered (up a fret) in Chord Of The Week on 9th April.

I'm pretty sure I first came across it on one of Robben Ford's instructional videos, but I haven't been able to find it since, so no video demonstration this week. The classic move is in a slow Blues in G, when you go up to the IV chord C9 play 8x8758 and toggle it with

C9sus4: 8x8768

It sounds great. If anyone out there has an example on record or from a YouTube clip to share, so much the better - I'll thank you with a Wisdom. Next week, unless there is another death to interrupt the schedule, I'll do another church chord from a song I'll be playing in Church next weekend - a closely related 7th chord with the root voiced at the top of the chord.
