Spell the F#7 chord, or F# dominant seventh, as F#, A#, C# and E. It is an F# major triad with a minor seventh, and it sounds identical to Gb7, the flat spelling.
The list holds six voicings, none using an open string, with the lowest at the 2nd fret. In B major, F#7 serves as V7. If you only want the essentials, shell voicings keep just the root, third and seventh. The F# Mixolydian scale holds each chord tone.
Pick a tempo, start the drum loop in the player and practise the shape until it lands on the beat.
F# dominant 7th guitar chord is also written as F#7, F#dom7 or F#dom.
