Sometimes the context even includes the genre. A F/G might be written G9sus4 on a jazz lead sheet or G11 for a pop song. The latter is somewhat incorrect, since the 3rd is pretty important in a G11 voicing.
Without other context I would say that you can probably label G/C as Cmaj9 or even Cadd9, even though the E was not in the original label, but to be sure you do need to check whether the E is indeed okay instead of or in addition to the B.
- dhosek 2y agoWhat’s more functionally F[maj7]/G¹ is functionally a G7 chord in that any place you see the one you can substitute the other and the harmonic function remains the same. ⸻ 1. This chord and its relatives in other keys is my favorite chord.
- bonzini 2y agoKind of since you don't have the B-F tritone. There is a lot more instability, and the resolution to C is a lot stronger, in G7 than in F/G or similar chords.
