About C#dim9/E

C#dim9/E is C# Dim 9 with E as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as C# Dim 9 (C#, E, G, A#, D#), 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.
