Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.72,0:00:21.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm sure many of you \Nhave seen things like D/F#
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.53,0:00:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and wondered what it meant,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.60,0:00:24.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,may be it was two chords at the same time.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.67,0:00:28.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's really, really simple.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.20,0:00:41.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you see, say, the chord D/F#
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.80,0:00:46.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all it's meaning is it's a D chord,\N"slash", with an F# base note.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.67,0:01:01.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, if it was Em/B,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.78,0:01:09.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just leave off that thickest string,\Nwhich was the note E.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.03,0:01:12.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because now the lowest note, \Nthe bass note of the chord,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.76,0:03:00.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we want to put a F# base on it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.29,0:03:01.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's a couple of ways of doing it.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.43,0:03:03.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First of all, you could\Nwrap your thumb around

Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.38,0:03:10.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you can play that 5th string there if you want.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.85,0:03:13.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I usually let the thumb mute that string.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.81,0:03:15.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it sounds a bit sweeter,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.36,0:03:16.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that's really your call.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.67,0:03:19.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the getting the thumb over \Ncan be quite a hard technique,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.46,0:03:22.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a much more common way of\Nplaying that chord
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.41,0:03:23.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is like this:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.51,0:03:26.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with first finger on the F#.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.10,0:03:27.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That also mutes the fourth...\N
