Dominant Seventh Chords
A dominant seventh chord is a Major Chord with an added Minor Seventh
note. It's an important chord as it creates a sort of tension that resolves
naturally on the tonic, giving a feeling of conclusion to the progression.
Dominant chords are denoted with the number "7", for example, C7 is a C
dominant chord.
C7 D7 E7

Movable Chord Shapes
The following diagrams show you some chord shapes that you can shift
up or down the neck (without changing finger positions) to play chords
with different names (C, D, E, F#, and so forth) but of the same type
(Major, Minor, 7, and, minor, dominant or other types). That's the reason
we call these diagrams movable.
With movable shapes, we don't play any open strings.
If you memorize these fingerings, you'll be able to play almost any
chord, by placing the movable shape at the fret that corresponds to the
root of the chord you want to play. In the diagrams, the root note is the
one denoted by the number 1 at the bottom of the diagrams.
For example, a movable shape for the Dominant Seventh chord is the
following:
C7 D7 E7

The first diagram shows you the fingering of a C7 chord, that has the
lower root at the 3rd fret of the A string.
If you want to play a D7 chord, you have to shift the shape up by two
frets, until the root (the fret with the number 1 at the bottom of the
chart) is at the 5th fret of the A string, that is a D, as shown in the second
chart.
With the same logic, if you want to play a E7 chord, you have to move the
shape until the root at the 7th fret of the A string (which is an E), as
shown in the third picture.
In the following movable chord diagrams you will not find the name of
the chord, because it depends on where you place the root (1) of the
chord on the fretboard.
All the diagrams are shown for chords with root C. To change to root,
shift the shape up or down the fretboard as said before.
