But you should ask yourself what tone a bass player would play to it (even when there is no bass player playing along). In most cases it's simply the shortest chord symbol, which is also the easiest one to read. *) If you prefer to write the full length chord symbol in front of the slash on your lead sheet, feel free to do so. Example: C maj7(9)/ D has the 9th in the bass and therefore can be written as C maj7/ D. In return the interval it represents will not show up in the chord symbol anymore*. If you choose to interpret a chord as a slash chord, the lowest note is added to the chord symbol after a slash. The corresponding chord symbol shows up above the fretboard and the spots of the chord shape will display the according notes or intervals. With the button inversions and slash chords you can navigate through the list of the different chord interpretations. After entering or changing a chord shape in the fretboard, the tone on the lowest string is considered as the root.
