If you simply write “G7” you w probably won’t get that specific voicing of G7 as it is not a typical way of playing it. You can also use a fingerboard diagram.
Jun 19, 2022 at 15:44 comment added Tim It won't be G/F unless the note F is the lowest played. Simply G7 is fine - the F could be played on the bottom string, but it's not as you describe. It's often played on top string 1st fret, but still just named G7. And chord names aren't tab...
Jun 19, 2022 at 15:39 comment added Paolo Bonzini It's okay to tab it as G7, since playing it with the F on the 1st string will not be wrong from the point of view of the harmony. Another possibility is G7/F.

Jun 19, 2022 at 15:34 comment added Rod Smith Thank you, I understand now! I thought it might be a G7, except if I Tab it that way, the reader might assume a typical G7 with the F on the 1st string.
