About Cdim/D#

Cdim/D# is C Diminished with D# as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as C Diminished (C, 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.
