like mrekoj said, the dominant is made up of 1 3 5 and a flat 7. i'll try and explain it out here, see if i can do it...
root 6: G7
E-3 (root note: G)
A-5 (5th note: D)
D-3 (flat 7: F)
G-4 (root note: B)
B-3 (3rd note: D)
e-3 (root note: G)
comparing with the major key, the notes are G A B C D E F#
root 5: C#7
E-X (dont play)
A-4 (root note: C#)
D-6 (5th note: G#)
G-4 (flat 7: B)
B-6 (3rd note: F) ok not sure why this is a flat 3 also, maybe others can explain lol
e-4 (5th note: G#)
comparing with the major key, C# D# E# F# G# A# B# (for this purpose only its called E#)
hope this helped

The F in C#7 is actually the major third, since a M3 up from C# is E# which is the same as F since they are enharmonic.
Alternatively you might want to play the C#7 this way:
x
6
4
x
4 (C#-root)
x
The 5th can be omitted since the tonality of the Dominant 7th chord is emphasized in the minor 7th interval. You can just move around the A string to get the different Dominant 7th chords with the above shape.
Hope this helps too!
You have to look at the scale you're playing in.
a seventh up from the root is basically a second down from the same root
there are only 3 types of seventh chords.
major seventh=minor second down (1 semitone)
minor seventh=major second down (2 semitones)
diminished seventh=augmented second down (3 semitones)
A C chord is also known as a C major chord. A Seventh is by default a minor seventh.
so by default
a C7 chord is a major C chord and a minor seventh.
a Cmaj7 would be a major C chord and a major seventh.
a Cmin7 would be a minor C chord with a minor seventh
a Caug7 would be a augmented C chord with a major seventh
a Cdim7 would be a diminished C chord with a diminished seventh
a Chalf-dim7 would be a diminished C chord with a minor seventh
in a C major scale the seventh of the C would ALWAYS be Cmaj7 because the seventh of the C is B which is a major 7th. it is impossible to have any other type of C seventh chord in a C major scale because of the notes in the scale. there is no Bb in a C major scale so you will not be able to get any other type of C seventh chord in it.
you have to draw it out on staff lines to see..
