About A#dim/E
A#dim/E is A# Diminished with E as the lowest note. This is the 2nd inversion of the chord — the same notes as A# Diminished (A#, C#, E), but voiced so that E sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
