The chord box diagrams that the website displays
are generated automatically from a generic
database and often don't show the best option for
a particular chord progression.
I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Play the (G/F#) as a passing bass note only
Em7 = 0-7-5-7-0-0 E5 = 0-7-9-9-0-0
A9 = x-0-5-6-0-0 D6sus2 = x-5-0-7-0-0
E = 0-2-2-1-0-0 Aadd9 = 5-7-7-6-0-0
A = x-0-2-2-2-0 G6 = 3-5-5-4-0-0
G = 3-2-0-0-0-3 (G/F#) = 2-x-x-x-x-x
Bm = x-2-4-4-3-2 F#7sus4 = x-9-11-11-0-0
E7sus2 = x-x-4-4-3-0 Gmaj7/F# = 2-2-0-0-0-2
