Hey thanks Cheve, I have all that, but I don't understand how you apply all that to playing.
It's like you have all of these puzzle pieces and you can't figure out where they go.
You apply the inversion the exact same way as the root position chords. So, if u play root position chords like this:
C / C-E-G *root position C major chord
F / F-A-C * root position F major chord
(repeat)
Then, use the 1st inversion and play them the exact same way:
C / E-G-C *1st inversion C major chord
F / A-C-F *1st inversion F major chord
(repeat)
Then move on to the 2nd inversion:
C / G-C-E *2nd inversion C major chord
F / C-F-A *2nd inversion F major chord
(repeat)
Now, after u get good with that, then u look at the chords and see if they got any notes in common. This way, u can play the chords and not move your hand much, u use notes from one chord and switch to the other chord:
C-E-G and F-A-C have the note C in common. So, using those inversions above, I'm gonna show u how to play those 2 chords, but keep one finger on C:
C /
C-E-G *root position C major chord
F /
C-F-A *2nd inversion F major chord
(repeat)
C / E-G-
C *1st inversion C major chord
F / F-A-
C *root position F major chord
(repeat)
C / G-
C-E *2nd inversion C major chord
F / A-
C-F *1st inversion F major chord
(repeat)
You see how that works? I played all both chords, but I utilizied the inversions so that I didn't have to jump for every chord, my hand stayed in one place. Does that make more sense to ya? Let me know, I can try to break it down even more if u need it.
