About D9sus4/A
D9sus4/A is D 9 Sus4 with A as the lowest note. This is the 2nd inversion of the chord — the same notes as D 9 Sus4 (D, G, A, C, E), but voiced so that A sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
