  • Welcome to my new lesson about inverted chords progression.

    What is an inverted chord?
    A triad consists of three notes - the root (the note by which the triad is named), the 3rd and the 5th. Most of the time, the root is played as the lowest note. So the chord C means that the note C is the lowest-sounding note, with the notes E and G above it. Any chord in which a note other than the root is the lowest-sounding note is called inverted.
    This lesson will show us how you can build a song based on inverted Major chords (I- IV simple progression) - C and F major and their variations.
    Why is it important?
    Well, variations of a chord help you start composing and at the same time understand the relations between them.
