Chord Inversions

 

Once you have become familiar with chords, you can then incorporate chord inversions into your daily practice.  A chord inversion is simply inverting a chord to play it a different way.  For example, the triad chord C E G can be inverted to E G C and G C E.

For now, you can simply play a one note bass line to fill in your chords.  Do this by playing the 1st key of each chord with your left hand.  For example, you would play the C key near the far left of the piano with the left hand for a C triad chord.

For an even fuller sound, try playing two C’s with the left hand.  Stretch the thumb and pinky until they both reach the C key.
