About E7b5/G#

E7b5/G# is E 7 b5 with G# as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as E 7 b5 (E, G#, A#, D), 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.
