Questions about G♯7

What notes are in a G♯7 chord?

A G♯7 chord contains the notes G#, D#, F#, C. It is built from the dominant 7th formula 1 - 3 - 5 - ♭7, with G# as the root.

How do I move between G♯7 and C♯ major cleanly?

They are four frets apart on the same string set, so treat it as one slide rather than two shapes. Keep the index finger lightly on the strings as you move and let it arrive as the new barre. The hand never really leaves the neck, which is what makes the change sound connected rather than stitched together.
