		Hi GMC! In this lesson I will introduce to you to the concept of slash chords. This kind of chords are named this way because they have an altered bass that not always correspond to the sound of the chord. 

Here is a list of the slash chords and the different scales that you can play over them:



C/C – C major & C lydian                  

Gb/C – C altered & C half-step/whole-step diminished

Db/C – C phrygian & C locrian          

G/C – C major

D/C – C lydian                                     

Ab/C – Ab major

Eb/C – C dorian                                    

Bb/C – C mixolydian

E/C – C lydian augmented                   

B/C – C whole-step/half-step diminished
