What is an E5/B chord?
I bought a Dave Matthews book, and Crash calls for this chord. It's the only chord that doesn't have a picture.

the E5/B chord is a inverted E5 chord...it's an E5 with B in the root of the chord...hah, a little theory lesson
 I can't exactly remember the inversion though...I think it's 2nd inversion, not quite sure

A "5" chord has only the root and the fifth, in this case E and B, with B as the lowest. The "easiest" way to play it would probably be something like x22400.

Usually a slash chord indicates that a note other than the root will be in the bass. Thus a D/F# indicates that the F# should be in the bass. Depending on the chart this can either tell you which inversion to play, or can indicate that a separate bass part is playing a different note.
For instance, if you're playing a basic G-C-D progression, but you want a bass player to stay on the G you might write G, C/G, D/G. While many guitar players are familiar with a C/G chord, most of us would let the bass player handle the G in the D/G and play a straight D chord.

An E5/B is an E chord with no 3rd. It would be spelled with just 2 notes: E & B. I would make an E5/B like this...
Ex a2 d2 g4 b0 e0 or like this... Ex a2 d2 g4 b5 e0 or like this... E7 a7 d9 g9 b0 e0 or if you like to stretch, like this... E7 a7 d9 g9 b12 e12 or like this... Ex a2 d2 g4 b5 e7 I've never heard the song you are talking about, but hopefully, one of the voicings above will get you close to the sound on the CD.

Here are the fingerings I use....
E7 1st finger a7 1st finger d9 2nd finger g9 2nd finger b12 4th finger e12 4th finger or like this... Ex a2 1st finger d2 1st finger g4 2nd finger b5 3rd finger e7 4th finger I you want to incorporate a new chord voicing that is akward, try this technique: 1. Gently place your fingers on the strings for the chord - but don't press down at all - just let your fingers lay on the strings. 2. Go through your chord changes this way, just laying your fingers on the strings, but not pressing down. 3. Once you can do step #2, start to add a minimal amount of downward fretting pressure to your fingers, but don't try to put enough to make the notes actually fret. 4. Keep repeating the chord changes, gradually increasing the fretting pressure as you go. Eventually, you'll be fretting the notes clearly and moving through the chord changes easily. Peace.
