Well I guess it depends on the song. But usually the 'slash' chord indicates that the bass guitar would play the G#. But since you indicate that the tab says that the chord contains the G# when playing an Am chord I have to wonder. Are you sure that's the way it's played? That's a pretty healthy stretch for playing an Am chord at the same time (I'm sure some people can do it, but I can't) so it makes me wonder whether or not the tab you got for the song is accurate. If the guitar is playing a G# bass note with the Am, there might be another substitute chord actually used. Can you give us a link to the song or just tell us which song it is?
