Know this chord ! It is very common and one of the first taught in guitar lessons with Jimmy Cypher
It is composed of the root note A the major third C# the perfect fifth E and the minor seven or flat seven which is G. (A-C#-E-C).It’s chord formula is 1-3-5-b7 . Is useful to think of it as a hybrid of both a major chord and a minor seven chord as it has qualities of both and thus an unusual amount of tension allowing for a lot of scale options including the chromatic scale used in jazz. Dominant seven Harmony gives you the greatest number of soloing options for wild crazy stuff when you hear bucket head, dime bag Darrell Vernon Reed from living color or Hendrix on voodoo chile these are all examples of stretching out over dominant seven harmony, something we explore in advanced lead guitar lessons.
