About Bdim/D

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