Question

Okay, i have a list of questions about chords.
the first one is:
What does a slash mean in a chord symbol?

Answer 1

A slash on a chord means its a chord inversion. However, its most important job is to tell you the lowest-sounding note on the chord (aka the bass note).

For example: Gm/F# would mean playing a regular G minor chord, BUT putting F# as the bass note.

So the chord would be F# G Bb D on the piano or guitar or whatever instrument you play.

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Thanks so much!

Answer 3

No problem :)

Answer 4

So basically your doing the 3rd inversion I think it is?
