Hello,

I just need some quick help. I'm trying to transpose a song for my bell choir from some guitar music. I've found a couple chords I don't know, and couldn't find on the 'chord website' I was using as an aide.

Could someone please tell me the notes in the following chords?

D6sus2
A7sus2

Also, if a guitar is written like this (Bm/A), what does that mean? Is a B minor chord played followed by an A major chord? Please explain this notation. Thank you.

jen:

D6sus2 - depress the second fret of your "G" string and play all but your low "E" and "A" strings.

A7sus2 - depress the second fret of your "D" string and play all but your low "E" string.

Usually chords are played with the lowest note (bass) being the root (thus the lowest note on an "A" chord is usually an "A"). The 'slash' chords simply tell you to use another note in the bass position. Thus your B-minor chord will be played with an "A" - the fifth string - as its lowest note.

Hope this makes sense and works for your arrangement!

Actually, fuse, for those two chords, I was looking for which notes exactly make them up? You know, like a C chord is C,E,G.

The slash stuff makes sense though. Thanks for the help.

I should have read your question more carefully! The essential notes for your configurations:

D6sus2 = D - E - A - B

A7sus2 = A - B - E - G

On guitar, these may be accomplished as described above with standard tuning.

Hope this helps.

Thanks 'fuse. That's what I needed!
