Inverted chords are extremely useful. Working with inversions allows us to create better sounding progressions, since the bass is no longer stuck to jumping in parallel with the chord. This video explains the basic music theory of chords in first and second inversion, also called 63 and 64 chords respectively. In addition, we explore slash chord notation and 4 examples in full of how inversions can help us write more interesting and likable progressions.

For 4 years I always thought Slash chords were chords that Slash played...

Jake: Talks about Dream Theater
Me: "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one"
Also, that same chord progression is the same for the verse of The Spirit Carries On, which is super fun to play on piano.

The bass player has the power, clandestine power...

If you haven't already you should make a playlist just for these "4 pillars" of progression writting.
I'm still practicing basic chord changes but even so, I've managed used what I've learned from your videos to blow my own mind. Thank you so much.

I loooove it :D
Being a metalhead, combining inversions with borrowing chromatic notes from parallel chords has helped me so so much with songwriting :)
Daaaamn does Generations sound awesome!

I can't hear that Dream Theater chord progression without the vocals playing in my head. I've listened to that album way too much. Thanks for using that as an example.

I'd like to thank you and your patrons, patreons for this video. You're helping people express the music in their hearts, and helping musicians at different levels of education communicate to work together. Thanks again...

Jake you’re awesome bro!! I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now and I just wanted to say you’ve helped me grow into a much more sophisticated guitar player and musician in general. Your videos are very well thought out, always knowledgeable and you explain everything in very practical ways making it easier for some of us to understand. Keep up the good work. And thank you to all of his patreon supporters for helping him make these videos possible. As soon as I’m in a better situation myself I plan to join you in the support effort!

Thanks for a very well delivered and informative lesson. Brilliant.
|
Always great! Looks forward to all of your new vids, thanks!

Great lesson, Jake! Really helps to hear how these inversions sound relative to one another. Thx!
|
Awesome explanation of chord inversion. I loved your practical examples and approach. Thanks for that
|
I just wanted to thank you bro. I've learned so much from your channel. Keep on with the good job man.
|
So good! I think this is the best class I've watched by yours. You are very clear and simple about a bunch of cool theory, but also critical about it. Thank You!

i made two mistakes in this video but tried my best to cover them up in post by overdubbing the audio. of course, this will only encourage the conspiracy theorists who believe that you're not hearing my real voice. but i'd rather have people speculate that i have a weak voice than be wrong on the internet.
