I'm with semilivemusic on this one.

200232 is not the normal D chord. X00232 is. Often when I play a D chord this normal way, I leave out the bass A. If I hit it, I hit it, no big deal. I also barre a D chord depending on the song and preceding and following chords.

200232 = D/F#, which may I point out is why G/F is not a G7. The note on the right side of the slash does not indicate what note to add to the chord. It represents the bass note.

This is pretty standard notation. And standard notation is a wonderful thing for all of us who know and use it. You can go from band to band and have no trouble at all.

But I would say, I've only been playing guitar for 4.5 years. So I probably know a lot less than you all. But I'm with semilivemusic on this one.

Peace all
Bob
