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...

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

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.

Jake: gives popular music examples
Also Jake: *puts his own song in it*, 😝👌🤣

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 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.

This is hands down the best YouTube channel for learning music theory

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!

Love how it's almost a tradition to have a mistak on this channel.

High quality content and teaching that is always really good. Personally I owe Jake bigtime and I never ever thought I was even capable of learning theory , I always thought it was like advanced maths or something. But slowly slowly getting there thanks a lot

This has convinced me I need to keep working on learning every note on the fretboard. Along with all the chord triads. Otherwise, I'll just have to manually look up every inversion, rather than being able to just figure it out for myself.

For anyone who's ever tried to teach/explain music knows how challenging it can be, and therefore, just how gifted this delightful man is.

Not watched this lesson yet, but as this is one of my favourite youtube channels, I know it will be great. Thought I would write a comment as I have loved your last two lessons on practical uses of the modes, brilliant stuff! I have been expecting your next lesson to be on writing a song in the phrygian mode. Hope you go through them all, so clear and helpful.

You are one of the better YT teachers. You get you message across clearly. You do sound like the guy that announces movie trailers at the theater.

Some people just know how to teach. Its just a part of them. This guy knows how to teach, it just flows out of him. He even answered the questions I had as he went along. What a great, great channel...

It’s a wonder you only have 329k subscribers, this has got to be one of the best channels for learning guitar/music theory on YouTube. Though I guess that would be subjective. Regardless, you have helped me quite a lot in understanding and using the concepts you’ve went over. Thank you Mr. Lizzio!

Thank you, chord progressions are my weakness and you've made it simple to understand.
It would be cool to have a video where you get into the differences between chorus, verse, bridge etc. I can usually make up my own little chord progressions from noodling on the guitar, but my music has always come out be 1 minute long even when I program the song digitally. I don't know how to take my really good sounding stuff and expand it into a full 3-5 minute song.
I naturally am concise in what I do because of my education and current job. I naturally speak in 1 minute songs and it's frustrating because I want to get more out of my ideas.
I have about 20 songs and samples with ideas I've been saving for when I do learn how to expand on all of them.
Peace

Can’t believe you weren’t a music major…your knowledge is encyclopedic! Great video as always!

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.
