Chord Inversions: The D/F# Chord

The D/F# chord is the first inversion of a D major chord. The D/F# chord contains the 2nd fret of the 6th string (F#), the open 5th string (A), the open 4th string (D), the 2nd fret of the 3rd string (A), the 3rd fret of the 2nd string (D), and the 2nd fret of the 1st string (F#).

The notes in our D/F# chord are the same as our D Major chord (D, F#, and A), but with the F# as the lowest note. Place your 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the 6th string.

It is also common to omit the 1st string on this chord by muting it. This is done in the alternate version of the D/F# chord.
