o = play open string
If the same fingering appears for more than one string, place the finger flat on the fingerboard as a 'bar', so all the strings can sound.

Examples of use
The 7th chord, also known as the Dominant 7th is so-called because it is formed from the 5th degree (or Dominant) of the scale. So in F major , the dominant 7th chord C7 resolves to F major

It's also possible to use the 7th chord as the dominant of other chords. For example, in A# major, we could use C7 as the "dominant of the dominant". The notes of the C7 lead to F, which itself can then lead as a Dominant chord back to the tonic A#.
