What are Inversions?

An Inversion is a triad with the root note moved to a different position.

For example if your triad is Cmajor - C E G
You could invert it to something like
EGC
Or
GCE

This is useful when writing music, and you are playing a bass note which is in the chord
So if your left hand is playing C you may want to play GCE in your right.







This will instantly make your composition sound more interesting and less contrived
