Comments on: Learning Chord Inversions On Guitar http://theguitarresource.com/chords/learning-chord-inversions-guitar/ Sat, 05 May 2012 17:25:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Chris http://theguitarresource.com/chords/learning-chord-inversions-guitar/comment-page-1/#comment-5053 Chris Sat, 05 May 2012 17:25:02 +0000 http://theguitarresource.com/?p=245#comment-5053 Instead of being technical about what kind of inversion we are playing, I think, from a practical standpoint, it makes more sense to find inversions that are naturally played. The average length between notes on a guitar is 4.8. By sorting through the distance in space of the different possible inversions, allowing spacing of 2 to 7 notes, and sorting by absolute distance from the average length between notes (4.8 on the guitar), we can quickly find the easiest to play inversion. Computers can help you find the best probable inversions or you can do it yourself, but that seems cumbersome if it is five or six note inversions. Anyway, there's no reason to work your hands more than necessary.

Just take the first inversion for example. You invert cmaj7 to get EGBC. I assume E is the lowest note here. G is the second lowest note. But here, you take the G note up to being the highest note, making it EBCG. I thought with drop 2 you took the second highest note and dropped that to be the lowest. But here you seem to be taking the second lowest note and making it the highest? Are you sure this is right?

Thanks for taking the time to create this for us. I agree that that was a well written article and it has really simplified inversions for me. Thanks for taking the time to create this for us.
