A slash chord is a chord where a specific bass note (different from the chord’s root) is written after a slash in the chord symbol. This bass note usually adds a unique harmony or color to the chord by changing the chord’s lowest pitch.

Inverted chords when the bass note is a note already in the chord, it’s called an inversion. These give the chord a slightly different sound by changing the lowest note.

Slash chords give you creative ways to voice chords and control bass movement, making your playing sound richer and more dynamic. They’re versatile tools that help guitarists add nuance and depth to chord progressions.
