Slash chords don't refer to the guitarist... they're a type of chord...

@ibanezbloke check out resolution by mahavishnu orchestra, the chord shapes of normal straightforward triads are used but the bass note is altered to add tension. carla bley's vashkar has some pretty out there slash chords like G minor/ B. they are not inversions in the conventional triadic sense but they could be considered inversions of extended chords.
