(They have nothing to do with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biography.com\/people\/slash-20853643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the guitarist<\/a>, Slash.) Examples include C\/G, Am\/C, or D7\/C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first letter is the actual guitar chord name, which can be a major chord or minor chord. In the above examples, these would be C major, A minor, and D7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second letter, after the slash notation, is the note to be played in the bass. In the above examples, G, C, and C.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-2.jpg\" alt=\"Slash chord inversion explained\" class=\"wp-image-66846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-2-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-2-100x39.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If we were a full band or orchestra, different players would play the chord and the bass. But as solo guitarists, <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/teach-yourself-learn-classical-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we have to cover all the bases<\/a>. So we alter our usual <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/chords\">guitar chord<\/a> shapes to allow for the alternate bass note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-how-to-say-the-slash-chord-names\">How to Say the Slash Chord Names<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we see a slash chord, we first say the chord name, then \u201cwith __ in the bass\u201d. Or, \u201c _ over _\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, G\/F would be pronounced either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cG Major Chord with F in the bass\u201d<\/strong><br>or<br><strong>\u201cG over F\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-when-in-doubt-play-the-first-chord\">When in Doubt, Play the First Chord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If we\u2019re playing (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/strum-guitar-songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strumming<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/chord-charts-lead-sheets\/\">chord charts<\/a> at sight (aka \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/sight-reading-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sight-reading<\/a>\u201d), we may not have time to figure out the fingering of a slash chord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When in doubt, we can almost always play the first guitar chord and be safe. It won\u2019t sound as \u201cright\u201d as the full slash chord, but will be the right notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-jargon-alert-inversions\">Jargon Alert: Inversions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChord Inversion\u201d is the classical musical term for a chord with a non-root note as the lowest note in the chord.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-28129\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-1-notation-.jpg\" alt=\"inversions\" class=\"wp-image-28129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-1-notation-.jpg 400w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-1-notation--300x126.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This C chord has been rearranged to put each chord tone in the bass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Specific uses of chord inversions also have their own names and titles.

The musical term for this is \u201cpolyphony\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-28132\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-4-villa-lobos-1.jpg\" alt=\"villa lobos inversions\" class=\"wp-image-28132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-4-villa-lobos-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-4-villa-lobos-1-300x102.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In his Etude #1, Villa-Lobos uses slash chords (aka. inversions) to move the bass note one fret at a time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>These bass-lines can create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/strong-weak-beats-music-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">forward movement<\/a> and propel the music forward.

(A chord progression is a string of many chords or sequence of chords).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many pieces move between just two or three chords for the entire piece. Slash chords allow the composer or accompanist to keep the music interesting and novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-what-are-the-most-common-slash-chords\">What are the Most Common Slash Chords?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In theory, we can put any bass note under any chord. However, by far the most common are simple chords with a different chord tone as the bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most slash chords are \u201cchord inversions\u201d. This means that the other notes of the chord are the same. The difference is that a non-root note is in the lowest-sounding position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-play-c-major-chord\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a C major chord<\/a> contains the notes C, E, and G. The note &#8220;C&#8221; is in the root position. A slash chord (or chord inversion) would put either the E or G as the bass note. This is true for seventh chords as well. Not just chords with three notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Most slash chords are &#8220;cowboy chords&#8221; with a different bass note.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So the most common slash chords will be \u201ccowboy chords\u201d (open-position chords) with a different bass note, though we do<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-28141 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-5-common-1.jpg\" alt=\"slash chords for guitar\" class=\"wp-image-28141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-5-common-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/slash-chords-5-common-1-297x300.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Many of the most common slash chords<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-how-to-practice-slash-chords\">How to Practice Slash Chords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can get along with no formal practice of slash chords. However, it may be helpful to memorize the most common slash chords so it\u2019s easier to recognize them in music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scenario-1-mainly-composed-music\">Scenario #1: Mainly Composed Music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If our main focus is on playing composed classical guitar pieces or arrangements, we can just keep an eye out for slash chords. Then, when we encounter them, we can identify them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can either figure out why the composer chose that version of the guitar chord, or simply notice how it\u2019s used. When we come to it, we can think of those notes as the original chord shape, altered. This will aid memory and speed up learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scenario-2-mainly-accompanimental-playing\">Scenario #2: Mainly Accompanimental Playing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many guitarists play primarily to accompany singing (their own or someone else\u2019s), or to accompany other instruments, such as in a group or circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If our main focus is on accompanimental improvisation (playing un-scripted chords along with others), slash chords can add interest and novelty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most useful form of practice in this situation would be to identify common chord changes and find slash-chord alternatives. In other words, we can focus on practical application. (Think popular music)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a common chord combination is<br>C, G, D, G<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add variation, we can replace any or all of these with slash chords:<br>C, G\/B, D\/A, G<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In time, our vocabulary will grow, and many slash chords will become as familiar as the basic guitar chords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-what-to-do-first\">What to Do First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started in slash chords,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Download and print the free slash chords sheet, and play through each of the chords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for slash chords in guitar music you already play (if you don\u2019t find any, or are just starting, that\u2019s fine).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once in a while, return to the slash chords sheet in your technique practice and review the common shapes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, you can store this information away for when it\u2019s needed, or you can create a plan to practice slash chords more intentionally.
