About Chords?
on: October 16, 2010, 05:45:53 PM
I forgot how you should play chords, I am sorry if this question is too simple. When the chord is written as G/B, then the left hand plays G and the right hand plays a B chord? Is that right?

Nope. B is the bass note and G major chord is the harmony.

Thank you for your reply! This was driving me crazy. I forgot where I read about this so I couldn't find the solution for my problem. I can finally breathe easy. :)
