About Bmaj9/D#

Bmaj9/D# is B Maj 9 with D# as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as B Maj 9 (B, D#, F#, A#, C#), 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.
