Chords Inversions

We learn about the chords and their types in basic lesson 6.And we saw family chords. We learn that all these chords are help to play background to the music or song. Now in this lesson you are knowing about chords inversions.

What are chord inversions?

The chords Inversions are the different ways you can arrange the notes in a chord. For instance, if you play three notes (a triad), there are three inversions you can play for that chord. If you play four notes, there are four chord inversions. If you play five notes, there are five possible chord inversions.
A chord inversion helps you to play the keyboard in a pleasantly flowing manner without making disturbed the music sound. They give you more freedom to move your hands while playing instead of needing to play with the root position for each chord. Triad chords are also known as minor or major chords.

We see Now triad chords inversion that means major and minor chords inversions.The traid chords inversions are three inversions.The three inversions that you have to learn to make your playing freely.

Three inversions of triad Chords

Starting Chord Inversion

The root position is the starting chord inversion. This is also known as the parent chord, or root inversion, where all the other inversions start. There are typically three keys to a chord. Sometimes you may have four notes/keys or five notes/keys at a time (four notes mean four inversions; five notes mean five inversions).
An example of a root chord inversion is the C major chord C, E and G. The C note is the starting or first note of the root inversion. This rule also applies to other root inversion chords. You would do the same for four-note and five-note chords as you would a three-note (triad) chord.

First Chord Inversion

The First inversion of a chord is when the middle note of the chord which is in root chord inversion is acts as starting position of the the chord and the starting note of the chord which is in the position of root chord inversion was moves to the last position of chord,finally the last note in the root inversion remains to middle in the First chord inversion.

For example, with the previous C major chord we would move to the next C key and play the C at the top so that it plays as E, G and C. This will give the chord a slightly higher tune than the root position. This inversion is often interchangeable with the root inversion.

Second Chord Inversion

The Second inversion of a chord is taking the last note of the chord which is ordered as starting chord inversion to the starting position and playing it as the new bottom note.So the Second inversion was created.

From the previous example of the first chord inversion, we had C,E and G. Now we would move to the next E key on the keyboard and play the chord as G, C and E.

These inversions are very useful to play freely and fastly.So practice well these chords inversions.
