About A#b5/E
A#b5/E is A# Major b5 with E as the lowest note. This is the 2nd inversion of the chord — the same notes as A# Major b5 (A#, D, 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.
