Dear Craig;
If the tablature you are looking at is 17th century French, the
dot under a chord may indicate a strum with the index finger of the
right hand. Oblique lines drawn between the notes of a chord indicate
that the notes are to be separated as in a fast arpeggio starting with
the lowest note. In guitar music this would be indicated by a wavy
line alongside the chord. I believe this is called "style brise", a
French approach lamented by E.G. Baron.
All the Best,
Gary Digman
