Have just come across a song with the chord A/B... Would this be an A with a B added? Tried this but it doesn't sound right. Can someone give me the tab?
Cheers!

[A/B] is an [Amaj] Triad with B in the Bass. The writer could have intended [B11]. [B11] is spelled. 1=B. 3=D#. 5=F#. 7=A. 9=C#. 11=E.  You can see the [Bmaj]and [Amaj] Triads are stacked together creating Extentions for [Bmaj]. Herbie Hancock and Joe Sample used Polychords alot in the 70's and helped to make them popular.  Good Luck!                     Gtrsct       Gtrsct@aol.com
