OK, so lets learn how to play a G7 on guitar, also called G dominant or Gdom7. G7 looks very similar to a regular G but with a little variation.
Right, so what we are going to do is to place the first finger on the first string first fret. Then your second finger is going to the fifth string second fret, and then finaly your ringfinger is going to the sixth string third fret which is quite a stretch, but there it is, a G 7 guitar chord.
You don´t have to be carefull when strumming as you strum all the strings on this chord. The G7 chord has a lot of tention and all it wants is to get to C.
