Chord inversions

Plibken · Post by **Plibken** » 19 Jul 2012, 02:32

Hi,

When I run the chord inversion exercises I get the following possibilities:

For example: chord E

E G# B
E G C (1st inversion)
E A C# (second inversion)

or Chord Bb

Bb D F
Bb Db Gb (1st inversion)
Bb Eb G (second inversion)

This isn't correct, is it?
Or Am I missing something?

Regards,

Peter

Hi,

The inversions are not inversions of the same chord (f. ex. E) but inversions with the same bass tone, which gives 3 different chords. For example for E, the basic inversions is C (1st inv.) and A (2nd inv.)

I see. Thanks for the reply!

Is there an exercise to test the inversions of the same chord?

for example: C

C E G
E G C
G C E
