Try playing the D minor sus 4: 5-X-5-5-3-X, fingered like an A minor 11, droning that 5th string A note, instead of dropping the E string down to D. The next chord would be played: 5-X-4-5-3-X. In this case you're still playing D7sus4 to D7, but with an A in the bass, and the alternating sus 4 and major third notes (G to F#) an octave lower than playing them on the high E string. Then play the G7 chord Freddie Green style: 3-X-3-4-X-X (actually, you "sus" that as well by playing 3-X-3-5-X-X, then dropping to the G7.) The next D7sus4 sounds good playing in "A" form 5th position (X-5-7-5-9-X. hen drop the "sus" note from fret nine to the major third at fret 8) Next comes E minor, which can be E minor 7 played X-7-5-7-5-X, dropping to A7: X-7-5-6-5-X. Back to the top. For a jazzy John Scofield-style turnaround, hit that A7 for one beat, then play B-flat add 9 and C add 9: 6-X-8-7-6-8, then: 8-X-10-9-8-10, back to the top. Those same add 9 chord forms work if you ply them a major 4th down, too, at the first and third frets.
