I’m confused on slash chords shown in lesson. There is a G/F showing a G chord over F on the score then there’s a Gb/Ab showing an Ab over Gb. It looks like the bass note position in the slash chord is on the right on the G/F and on the left in Gb/Ab. What am I missing?

Dude love all your videos but - you did a tutorial. I was hoping to get a slice of your process. As in - ok! You’re at a gig - someone calls that tune. You’ve never played it. Or you have 5 mins to prepare it. What do you do? If you can remember all of what you shared … you did not do this cold. Anyway - still enjoyed the lesson.
