I play with a guitarist and occasionally give him chords with a specified root, e.g. D7/F#, C/G.

Does this mean anything to a guitarist?, my guy looks blank at me.

If I give him G/F, I have to explain this is G7. Am I being unrealistic to think he should be able to figure this out, or should I spell it out for him?
