Just realised, , can you do it buddy?

It's a split/slash chord.

Basically means a chord with a different bass note to the root note.

e.g. E/B is a E major chord, but without playing the low E string. Therefore meaning the B note on the A string is the bass note.

and in simple terms, so i can explain to my little bro, who is confused atm........

[Libertine]

Do you know if he can read tab?

[JoeyB]

Dont know because he is in a huge mard, ::

put it this way he knows what a Bar Chord is.

[Libertine]

G/B is a G major chord without playing the low E string again.

I'm trying to figure out D/G.

G/B is a G major chord without playing the low E string again.

I'm trying to figure out D/G.

if don't you play the high E, and finger the G on the low E string, that sounds good (if you do happen to catch the top E, you get G6 or Em7, which is nice), also...

i know all the chords but can't play tab for my life - there are plenty of chord finder websites....

Its a chord dictionary but i dont know how accurate it is.

A slash chord, as already stated is a chord which has a different bass note than if it were played in it's conventional way.

Often this will involve either fretting a string you normally wouldn't, missing strings altogether, or a combination of the above.

Often there is more than one way to skin a cat.
