Topic: Slash Chords

I have a couple of slash chords I can't find on any chord chart that are in a song I need to play on sunday in church. Em/G and A7/E I would appreciate it if someone could give the fingering of these chords. Thanks

Re: Slash Chords

Em/G is played like an Em by fretting the second fret on the A and D strings, then add the third fret on the E string for the G 

Hopefully someone else can help you with the A7/E.  I don't know that one, unless it's a standard A7 and you play the low E string with it instead of muting it.

Re: Slash Chords

HI texan4ut,
These split chords are cool, I dig 'em. The way I approach figuring them out is this. ex Em/G the Eminor would the right hand on the piano and the G would be the bass note, or left hand on the piano.
Also, here a cool little modern resource that'll show you pretty much any chord and various ways to play 'em;

on this one play it as shown with an open G. That'll change it from A/E to A7/E.

Hope this works for you,
