x = don't play string 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 D# major , the dominant 7th chord A#7 resolves to D# major
It's also possible to use the 7th chord as the dominant of other chords. For example, in G# major, we could use A#7 as the "dominant of the dominant". The notes of the A#7 lead to D#, which itself can then lead as a Dominant chord back to the tonic G#.
