About Edim/A#

Edim/A# is E Diminished with A# as the lowest note. This is the 2nd inversion of the chord — the same notes as E Diminished (E, G, A#), 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.
