Merlin MannMy new favorite band (Hop Along) has a song that demonstrates excellent use of America's most underrated guitar chord, the sublime and very centering `C/G`.
That chorus. Man.

Jeff Rizzo@hotdogsladies almost. It's actually a D/D in dropped-D tuning

This is really funny, Jeff, and I just wanted to say so.
Mark Richard@hotdogsladies "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab and "You're Mine" by Maybe Next Summer both make really good use of these bass note-centric chords. They sound magnificent in context
Great picks! Here's another one from a Barsuk artist I enjoy:

It'll Be A Breeze
I've only heard Sean Nelson sing harmony on this probably once, but I still hear it and still sing it every time.
Jeff Zugale - Z Factory@hotdogsladies OMG YOU READ MY MIND
TWO OF THE NUMEROUS REASONS TO WRITE SONGS IN G!
@hotdogsladies @jeffzugale works great in many A major applications as well 👊😎👍
Richard Picot@hotdogsladies so into that thumb reach-around
Caleb Denman@hotdogsladies whenever I get to futzing with my pedal board, it’s usually at least 30 minutes of repeatedly playing the C/G and then lifting the finger(usually the index for me) that’s playing the C on the high B string so it becomes an open ringing B, while I dial in my overdrive and amp. That little combo of chords is like drugs to me
You can just strum it over and over. Fast or slow, hard or easy.
It's like dropping a goddamned battleship anchor.
@hotdogsladies and then you move to the D/F#?! It’s like gunning the engines and turning hard to the starboard for a wraparound after dropping that goddamned battleship anchor
@hotdogsladies jus gonna do a lil wraparound
@hotdogsladies I’m a big fan of Dmaj/F# (on low E) myself
boxspring@hotdogsladies It’s the difference between “Queen Bitch” sounding right and not quite.
The Dan@hotdogsladies A very popular chord with Jonathan Coultan.
Absolutely!
Mike Swimm@hotdogsladies Gregory Alan Isakov uses it a ton with a capo on 3rd fret. So good.
