Hi all-

Did you ever come across chords in guitar music that are written with a slash, and wonder what it means?

For instance, D/F#? Or, C/G?

I’ve had many students, beginners to advanced, virtual to “real world”, who’ve been confused by this concept, so just wanted to mention I’ve recently posted a lesson on this simple yet often misunderstood notation.

If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link:
