How do find a dominant seventh chord?

Q. For example, how do you find the dominant seventh chord of C major?

A. basically, its all about understanding the major scale, all the other scales, and every chord is based off the relationship of the notes in the major scale.

theres 12 notes all together, and in the major scale, we'd play 7 of the 12. think of it as a ruler. all 12 inches are there, but we're only going to play attn to the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th. now, rather than calling them by those numbers, we just rename them: one through seven. those are the notes in the major scale. (do re mi fa so la ti do). keep in mind, when you're playing these notes, even though you're not using all 12, all 12 spaces are still there. so, the inches on the ruler that arent used are still there, they still count as distance between notes. when you play a major chord, you're playing the root note (note #1), the third, and the fifth - out of the 7 in the scale. to play a dominant seventh you'd need to add in the 7th, but theres a certain dissonance to that note, so we'd take that note and make it flat (one fret lower, or one piano key lower). so, now you've got 1-3-5-b7

or :: c-e-g-Bb

Q. I want to learn how to vocalize using the piano. I'm in a choir and i want to learn how to vocalize using the piano. We vocalize like " mi hi ya ha ha ha ha ha" please give me the melody and the accompaniment.

A. There are any number of vocal warm up exercises.

thirds: 1 3 5 8 5 3 1
first five degrees of scale: 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1
scales + 1: 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

minor scales: 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7 8 b7 b6 5 4 b3 2 1
chromatic scales: ...... &c

... and use all sorts of vowels and word articulations

On a single note: "My momma made me mash my M & Ms", then again up a step ... all the way up the scale and back down.

Original Question

Can somebody tell me how to play a b sharp on guitar?
Q. maybe create a tableture? is it the same thing as a b7?

A. misread the question, i thought you were loking for Bb for some reason, anyway.

B# is a C chord.
here's how the scale works:

there's a whole step between all notes respectively except for between (B and C) and (E and F) so for instance between A and B, you have room for a sharp and flat note (FYI: A# is the same as Bb) Between the four notes I mentioned above, there is no space in beween to create an accidental note (sharp/flat) so a B# is a C and a Cb is a B. same goes for E and F. so if you know a C chord, you know a B#. and If you know a C note, you know a B# note. it seems confusing right now, but you'll get used to it, here's a link to help you out a bit. It's for Piano, but it actually makes it easier to look at and fully understand that way: http://www.musictheory.net/lessons/html/id20_en.html
