Notes, from the bass up

D (bass)EA

A slash chord names two things at once. The part before the slash is the chord your right hand plays, and the part after it is the single bass note for your left hand. Read Asus4/D as A Suspended 4th with D in the bass.

The bass note here is one of the chord tones, so this is exactly the 1st inversion of A Suspended 4th, written the way sheet music and chord charts usually write it.

See the full A Suspended 4th page for root position, every inversion, open voicings and the chord formula. Difficulty: Beginner. Category: Triads.
