The numbers refer to intervals of the scale. An interval is just the position of a note in the scale. The first note of the scale is the root note. The third note of the scale has an interval of 3. The fifth note of the scale has an interval of 5. The seventh note of the scale has an interval of 7, and so on.

A triad (3 note chord) has the root, the 3rd, and the 5th. For example, here's the C major scale:



The root is C, the 3rd is E, and the 5th is G. So a C major triad looks like this on the guitar:



It's a triad because it only has 3 notes, even though some of them are repeated.

Now let's consider your C major 7 chord (the second one in your chord picture). The notes of each string (from thickest to thinnest) are E C E G B G. We still have the three notes of the C major triad (C, E, and G) but now we have a fourth note, B. Looking at the C major scale above, we see that B is the 7th note of the scale. So we have a C major triad plus a 7th, making it a C major 7 tetrachord (4-note chord).

Referring to the piano keyboard picture of the C major scale above, play a C major triad and a C major 7 tetrachord on your Juno to hear the difference.

If you want to know more, Google "chord theory".
