Easy slash chords tutorial on the piano!

Easy slash chords tutorial on the piano! In today&tutorial, Scott will be covering some common music theory and teaching you about playing slash chords on the piano. Slash chords are a pretty easy concept and take no time at all to learn! Scott first goes over how you would typically see a slash chord on piano music sheets. Even though they look complicated, they aren&that tough! However, before Scott digs any deeper, he&need to cover what the "root" of a chord is. The root is the lowest note of the chord. For example, if you are playing a C chord, the lowest note you would play is a C. If you are playing with your left hand, your pinky would land on the C. However, what a slash chord does is override that default root and give you a new root to play. When you see a slash chord, here is how to interpret it - whatever is to the left of the slash, that is the chord you are supposed to play. But whatever is to the right of the slash, that is the single note that needs to be the new root of that chord; you will need to hear that note on the bottom. Scott then shows you a G / A slash chord. Your right hand plays the G chord (his thumb is playing the G, the lowest note) while your left hand plays the single note A as the bass. A great way to simplify slash chords is to think of them as fractions - for example, instead of reading the next example as a B flat major 7 / C, think of it as a fraction and think of it as a B flat over C; that can mentally help you...
