Hi all
How do deal with slash chords on the mandolin? Of course sometimes you can keep the bass note on some chords provided it's low enough (see my Funny Valentine) but what in the case of D7/F#?
1 do you ignore them and just play the chord no matter what the bottom note?
2 in the case of D7/F# do you play for example an F# on the D string, C on the A string and A on the E string (G string is muffled) in other words your typical 7th chord position without the root?
3 alternatively do you perhaps play the bass note on the top string instead of the bottom? So instead of a bass run you have a 'treble run'?
Thanks for your help
