Question: What is the difference between a A9 and A9/G# chord!?

Answers:
An A9 chord without any qualifier is a dominant chord, so it will have a G natual in it!.
Example: A C# E G B
A9/G# is an A9 chord played over a G# bass -- so we are assuming this to be an A M7 chord with an added 9th!.
Example: G# A C# E B
These are simple closed voicings!.

When you see a stroke and a note name after a chord (as in your A9/G#) it means that you play the chord before the stroke as normal but the note after the stroke is the bass note!. Hence a normal A9 would be A C# E G B with an A in the bass, but A9/G# would be A C# E G B as before but instead of A in the bass you would play G#!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
