Slash guitar chords

a triad over a named bass note

The same chord with a different note underneath it. The notation names the bass absolutely — C/E is a C triad with E in the bass — so these exist only for the roots where that bass is actually reachable on the guitar. What they buy is a bass line that walks while the harmony above it stays put.
