Questions & AnswersMIKE LAIS: Hi, I'm Mike Lais. And on behalf of Expert Village, this is playing piano 7th chords. So the major 7th first inversion. Again the inversions are, basically, the chords flipped upside down and is just going to give you a different sound to everything. This is going to be the major 7th first inversion starting--and the first inversion starts on the 3rd of the chord. So if you're going to take the C major 7th, just to be consistent, again, here's the root position. We're going to go 1, 3, 5 and 7. Now we're just going to take the root and put it on the top so we're going to go 3, 5, 7, 1. Okay? So we're just starting out on the 3rd; it's still the same chord except we just took the root and put it on top. So again that's going to be 3, 5, 7, 1. And that is your first inversion, major 7th chord.
