You're not mistaken - I have also seen "sus" and "sus7" used in the same way on rock and R&B charts. It's not a notation I would use myself, and I agree with Johan that G7sus4 is the unambiguous way to express the chord. But as has been pointed out before, there is no agreed standard for chord notation. It's worth noting that G7sus can be interpreted differently in a jazz context - the wikipedia article Johan linked to mentions this, though the analysis is not entirely accurate IMO. With regard to Roemer & Brandt, I think it's an interesting reference and a useful discussion starter, but it seems to me to be somewhat at odds with contemporary practice. Brett |
