Featured Guitar Chord
Em/D

Here is a Em/D chord. It is an Em chord, with a D as the lowest sounding note. This is a slash chord. The chord formula for a minor chord is 1 b3 5, E G B in this case. But because the lowest sounding note is a D, your ear will hear the E G and B in relationship to it. So D would be heard as 1, then the E would be heard as 9, and G as 11, and B as 13. So you have a much more complicated chord sound by just superimposing a simple Em chord shape over a D bass note. Listen for this chord in "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.
