Dominant 7 shape
If you want to play a F7 chord, you have to place the root (in yellow)
on the 8th fret of the A string (that indeed is a F note), see the second
figure. With the same logic, if you want to play a G7, you have to
place the root on the 10th fret of the A string (indeed a G note), as
shown in the third figure.
For a given chord, you can have different shapes, depending on
which fret you choice to be the root of you chord. In the following
diagrams, for each chord quality 3 different shapes are proposed.
Major chords
Minor chords
Dominant chords - 7
