It's easy.  You want to use the FretBoards context for your FretBoards.

\storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode { c1:7sus4 }
                         #guitar-tuning
                         "x;5;5;5;x;x;"
\storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode {d}
                        #guitar-tuning
                       "3;5;5;4;3;3;"

mynotes = {
  c2 c2 g'4 g4 g4 g4 d1
}
 
mychords = \chordmode { c1:7sus4 r1 d1 }

 <<
   \new ChordNames { \mychords }
   \new FretBoards { \mychords }
   \new Staff \relative c' { \mynotes }
   \new TabStaff  \relative c'{
      \mynotes
   }

If you haven't read the Learning Manual for 2.11, please do so -- it'll help
you.

If you have, you can learn more about the guitar functions in the Notation
Reference, under the section on Fretted Strings.

Thanks,

Carl
