About E6b5/G#

E6b5/G# is E 6 b5 with G# as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as E 6 b5 (E, G#, A#, C#), but voiced so that G# sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
