**Guitar Root Notes and Slash Chords
In this lesson you’ll learn about root notes and slash chords. Every chord has a root note (although you don’t always have to include the Root in the voicing…more on that in future lessons). All you have to know about root notes for now is that they are the name for of the chord. For example, the root note of G Major is G, the root note of A Major is A, the root note of Am is A, the root note of Em7 is E etc…Root notes are very important to understand for many reasons but for this course they’re important for understanding slash chords. A slash chord is a chord that has a note other than the root in the base (lowest note in voicing). For example, an F/C has a C in the base instead of an F. The way you read slash chords is “the chord/lowest note in chord”. So the first letter represents the actual chord and the second letter represents the base note. F/C = F Major chord with C as the lowest note in the voicing.
