The root specifies the basic
note of a chord. All chords
are structured with the root
as the base, and the name
of the root tone also
appears in upper case in
the chord name.
An on-bass chord is a chord
that uses bass for a note
other than the root, such as
an "F (Maj)" chord with
"G" as the bass note. This is
usually expressed as "F/G"
or "F on G."
