Fuck. Wrong the first time. Got my shit backwards. Normal B chord but hit the low E on the second fret.

B/F# is a slash chord or B over F#.

To figure these out, the first chord is the chord, the second chord is the bass note.

D/F# in What Will Become of Me for ex.

D major with thumb on F#.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that was always my understanding of slash chords.

Thats how i do them also. But with a B/F#, while playing a B you already have your finger on the F#. So there are some exceptions.

But I just looked and apparently an A/E is just an A chord. So maybe some are just automatically that way. Seems kind of redundant.

So my thinking would be 224442

this is all good to know, but don't listen to that tab... use this one: http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/r/radiohea ... -tab.shtml

I've noticed that too, with reference to the A/E chord.
