Hi All,
Just been looking at guitar chords for "wonderful tonight" its "G" then it says "d / f # " which looks to me like you can use either chord, but The "D" sounds right, but the F# does not sound like it should be in this chord sequnce at all. why have they shown the two chords?

thanks in advance, I am sure all you proper guitarists will know the answer and think I'm a plonker, but I used to call the "whammy bar" a "tremelo arm " which, I'm glad to say is what it does for me, it does not "whammy" , and I am certain that the "C" has fallen of the music called "rap". just my opinion. so why have they messed about with the chords????

thank you,
Doris.

Play a normal D major, use your 4th finger to play F sharp on the D string fret 4 or use any transposition from this.
Hi Doris ............... the D/F# doesn't mean 2 chords ........ it's called a "slash" chord.
It means a regular D major chord, but with F# in the Bass instead of the more usual D.
Instead of the usual D F# A D (building upwards from the D in the bass)
it would be F# then D F# A D (again building upwards)
If you're playing on your own .......... you would voice a regular D Maj chord plus you would play F# on the bottom string second fret.
If you're playing with a bass player ......... you just play D Maj as normal and let the bassman play F#
Hope that's ok ........... 'cos I'm just a Sax player :o)))
I'd play a normal D with the thumb on the bottom E second fret
