- Slash Chords: You play the chord before the slash, leading with the bass note after the slash. This is the lowest sounding note usually played on the lowest strings.
D/C signifies a D chord leading with a C bass note.
C/D signifies a C chord leading with a D Bass note. This voicing has an open 4th string (D) with the chord starting on the 3rd fret... xx0553. It has a very open sound and works well.
C/D can also be played as xx0010 which also sound good. Think of it as a C chord without fingers 2 and 3... very easy to play.
- Beginners don't have to play the bass notes... it still sounds fine. Instead of C/D - play C; instead of D/C - play D.
- | G - - - | Drums | means you play the G chord on the first beat of the bar and stop for the remainder of the bar and the following bar except for the drums.
