About Cmaj9/B

Cmaj9/B is C Maj 9 with B as the lowest note. This is the 3rd inversion of the chord — the same notes as C Maj 9 (C, E, G, B, D), but voiced so that B sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
