Before you go out and buy something check the different message boards. There's plenty of material to keep you occupied.

Inversions are easy.  To invert a chord take the bottom note and move it to the top and vice versa.  Here is an example:

C major chord:

C-E-G  root position
    E-G-C  1st inversion (C moves from bottom to top)
       G-C-E  2nd inversion (E moves from bottom to top)
           C-E-G  root position (G moves from bottom to top)  

You get the picture?  You can also do that with 4 and 5 finger chords.  Here is another example:

C7 chord:

C-E-G-Bb  root position
    E-G-Bb-C  1st inversion (C moves from bottom to top)
       G-Bb-C-E  2nd inversion (E moves from bottom to top)
           Bb-C-E-G  3rd inverison (G moves from bottom to top)
                C-E-G-Bb root position (Bb moves from bottom to top)

I don't have a good 5 finger chord to show, but it goes up to the 4th inversion, see how easy inversions are?  Each one sounds different, but the chord is the same.
