Chord & FretD/G — with the eleventh in the bass
Notes in D/G: G – D – F# – AFormula: 1 – 3 – 5 / 11In the formula, the numbers count steps of the major scale starting from the note that names the chord; "b" lowers a half step, "#" raises one — and a slash names the bass note.
The C triad over an F bass. From the bottom up it gives an F with a seventh and a ninth: a wide subdominant with no weight down low.
The same chord on all four instruments
Where to use it: Subdominant pedals, intros and suspended moods in the accompaniment.
This is just one shape of D/G. In Chord & Fret, you check it note by note, playing any shape as an arpeggio; compare positions with their difficulty marked; and set a capo — the diagrams redraw above it. Start free. Unlock everything with Pro. Plays offline.
