About Dmaj7/A

Dmaj7/A is D Maj 7 with A as the lowest note. This is the 2nd inversion of the chord — the same notes as D Maj 7 (D, F#, A, C#), 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.
