A loud system backing up your vocals plus some EQ, maybe a bit of smooth distortion on the mic and you've got a gnarly ...

Everyone else above has talked about the theory related to this question, but here's an actual G/B chord voicing that may help you out.

-x-
-7- (2nd finger)
...where the root is on the D string (where your first finger is).
