When reading guitar chords online…what does it mean.?

I'm completely trying to learn guitar on my own and doing pretty well so far. What does D/F# mean in the chord progressions. Say for example eric clapton's wonder tonight goes “G D/F# C D G D/F# C D” Are they the same chord or something…please help.

    D/F# Means play a D Chord with an F# bass. The F# is actually the third note in the D chord so you are playing the D chord but instead of the D being the root (or bass) note you are making the D# the root.

    It is the same on the piano. With the right hand you are playing a full D chord (three notes D, F# and A) and with the left hand you are playing the F# as a bass note. If you are playing bass guitar, you simply play the F# note.
