Major And Minor Chord Inversion

Hi and welcome to Anunaad Academy free music lesson blog.Today we are going to learn chord inversions.Please note that if a chord has 3 notes, it means it can be played 3 different ways. This means that a C major chord(C-E-G) can be played in 3 different ways.
That is, you can play this chord in the following ways:
1. C-E-G (Called a root inversion, the C note is on the left)
2. G-C-E (Called a 2nd inversion, the C note is in the middle)
3. E-G-C (Called a 1st inversion, the C note is on top)
For a C minor chord:
1. C-Eb-G (Called a root inversion, the C note is on the left)
2. G-C-Eb (Called a 2nd inversion, the C note is in the middle)
3. Eb-G-C (Called a 1st inversion, the C note is on top)
