Chord & FretInversions (slash)
symbols, sound and when to use them
Putting another chord tone in the bass — or a pedal, that is, a note that stays put underneath while the chords change — creates inversions and slash chords. They smooth the bass line (C/E, C/G, G/B) and are essential in arrangements and accompaniment.
