http://www.playpiano.com/101-tips/5-inversions.htm If I was strong enough to pick you up and stand you on your head, would you be a different person? Of course not. You would still be you. And yet many people get all confused when chords are turned upside down. They recognize them when they are in root position, but when you stand 'em on their head....well, it gets kind of fuzzy for folks. Here's the deal: Every 3 note chord (called a "triad" -- trio -- tricycle -- meaning "3") can be played in 3 different positions -- inversions: Root position, 1st inversion, and 2nd inversion.
