Davis, that's a great question. Thanks for asking it and for checking out the video - much appreciated. When describing a "slash" chord, I think of it in a couple ways. In this case, you can view it like a fraction and, thus, call it "D over F#." Or, you can recognize the chord is to the left and the bass note is to the right and call it a "D with an F# bass." To be honest, I've not heard it called the other way (i.e. F# over D). However, chords often have multiple names so if you think of that form as F# over D, then that would work for you. Thanks, again, for the excellent question. Have a great day.
Thanks, Barry! I like your quick to the point lessons.👍

Thank you so much for your super kind comments - made my day. I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Have fun playing this really cool tune.
Why are you calling a D/F# a D over F# instead of an F# over D? I’ve never heard it called the opposite. Just curious. Thanks.
