Dear Noah, I love what you are sharing man! As a bassist that's working on my piano skills, sometimes I find it hard to decide the name of the chord I'm actually playing. For me, you clarify what the options are in choosing to name a particular chord. Lastly, the bonus is that you identify the modes that can be performed!!!!
Music is funny sometimes. You read left to right E over C (E/C) but it's right-hand over left-hand. And being left handed it throws my thinking off sometimes where I'd be thinking E-left and C right which would just be an Emin 6 no 5 I suppose. Or something of the sort. In other words, growing up I used to have trouble changing a tire because I'd get tighty-righty lefty-loosie wrong sometimes. Oh... turn it the other way. lol! It's a right-handed world out there. lol! Great stuff. Glad I found your channel. Will help with my production.
Used extensively in 70's Prog Rock, Noah, but unlike jazz, where it is one of many chords/voicings, prog rockers often made slash chords the centerpiece chords, along with various sus chords in different keys, especially bands like King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, using them heavily on mellotrons and organs, to give it that majestic, cinematic sound to support their storytelling, lyrical content.
@@amilisom Been quite some time since I listened to prog rock. I'm in my 50's and that was as a teen. But I can remember before I was trying to transcribe jazz solos, I was listening to a lot of Tony Banks in particular, and can remember trying to figure out what he was doing chordwise, and always remember a lot of slash chords and even polychords used. Watcher of the Skies from Foxtrot, and Fountain of Salmacis from Nursery Crime immediately come to mind, but also material from Yes, like the intro to Heart of the Sunrise-slow section with mainly Rick Wakeman supporting Chris Squire's bass line. Some stuff on In the Court of the Crimson King, like Epitaph, I believe had some of that. It was very definitive of that genre, and most prog rock borrows so much of jazz anyway, along with classical and film. Just seems like it took one jazz chord at times and made a whole song out of it. Very much the case with sus chords too, as ELP, Keith Emerson, was arpeggiating sus chords all over the place in his blazing solos.
Genesis is practically only slash chords. "One for the vine" is an incredible song with incredible chords, most of which are slash chords. Live version on "three sides live" is the best.

I love those bands. Do you know any specific songs where they do it?

Very cool, thanks for the info. I’ll take a listen to the bands you mentioned more in depth and keep my ears open for what you’re talking about!
