Inversions: How To state an Agreement On It's Head

Many people confused when all the chords upside down. You can recognize them when they are in basic position, but when you stand on your head ... Well, it will be for the type of fuzzy people.

This is understandable. Agreements in place to grow root, which means that the name of the rope on the floor with the other two notes in an interval of 3 others. (E is a 3 over C and G) is a 3 on E. For example, if you play the C chord in root position, Cis the lowest note of the chord, it seems clear that is the agreement of Gd.

But if we consider the agreement with C and on the ground, or G on the ground, is not so obvious, because the tendon is no longer the 3rds stack.

Agreements on the head, are known as "inversion".

The catch:

All 3 chord (called a "triad" - Trio - tricycle - ie "3") can be played in 3 different positions - Inversion:

Root-position = The name of the chord isnote below

1. Inversion = The name of the chord is the top note

2. Inversion = The name of the chord is the note of half

So, if C is the lowest note of the chord C, this is called "root position". In C, the top note of the chord is C, this is called "1 reversal". And if C is the middle note of the chord C, is called "reverse 2" means.

Thus, a root-position triad (a triad is a 3-chord) is a stack of 3rds, in fact a minor 3 out of 3 adults. InitiallyInversion triad is a 3 ° with an interval of one on the floor and a 4th on the stack. A second inversion triad is a 4 with an interval of one on the floor and a 3 on the stack.

So what?

Here's what: Each inversion produces its own sound, so you can create a variety of sounds from a reversal and then get another. Any reversal also his feelings, so that some pianists easier to reverse some respect to others, especially the proper use of go rope rope.

SoWhat happens if there is more than 3 notes in a chord, as in a 6 or 7 Chord rope?

In the same game - it's just that now there are 4 positions of the tendon instead of 3 as a triad, the basic position, 1st inversion, inversion of 2 and 3 reversed. This gives the pianist a lot of options for tuning and fingers.

There is no law, except that a pianist should use all the notes of a given agreement. If you want a more open sound, I might omit the 5 to 4 strings, and you use onlythe root, 3, and what the other grade - 6, 7, 7 children, 9, or whatever.

For example, I might be accompanied by a C7 chord on the ground, jump the voice of G, then B and C. Or I could) play as an arpeggio (broken string from the root lower octave lower then play the 5, then the 3rd one octave higher, and then back to B.

The possibilities are virtually endless, and the more complex the tendon, the most exciting decisions are expressed.

So do not sitfor a single position of an agreement - you put it on the head and experiment with all the choice of luxury to deliver a sound that is all yours.
