About Adim/C

Adim/C is A Diminished with C as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as A Diminished (A, C, D#), but voiced so that C sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
