I am learning a few new songs and I have a question about how to read certain chords. Here are some examples.
Gmaj7/E
Bm/D
G/F#
I do know that the G/F# works as a step down from G to Em, but is it that why everytime it is on all songs?
Are all of these step down or up notes?
Is the Gmaj7 the chord but played from the E string?
Is the Bm/D the same, a Bm chord, played from the D string?
Any help would be appreciated. I am just starting on guitar and Iam haveing some good success with music that just has the chords listed, then I came across these.
Thanks in advance.
Pete
