I'm trying to learn to strum along to some songs and have basic "chord progressions" I guess you would call it. For example I'm trying to learn to strum along to the song Be Thou My Vision and the chords go like this:

D A/E G D

A/C# Bm7 G A

Bm7 D G-A

Bm A/C# D/F# G G/A D


Well, I guess each chord is strummed for a single measure. Does the A/E then mean that the A is strummed for the first two beats and then switch to the E for the secont two beats of the measure?

Also, if I see the chord Bm7, how do I know if that's B minor 7 or B major 7? would the B major 7 just be noted B7 is there a difference between B7, Bmaj7, Bmin7 or do they even exist?

:eek: <--- I knew a guy in high school who looked like that.
