you're smart.

*The guitar/piano stays on C#, but the bass plays C# B A G#. It's possible to play the 
bass note under the C# triad, but it's not necessary.

**Same idea. The guitar/piano stays on the C#m, but the bass plays C# C B A#.

Here's how to play the chords on guitar. (going from low E to high E)

E - 022100
B - X2444X
C#m- X46654
Am - X02210
A - X02220
A#halfdim - X12120
Cdim - X3424X
F#m - 244222
Eaug - 032110
C# - X4666X

Hope this helps!
