Learn About the Dominant 7th Chord's 1st Inversion

MIKE LAIS: Hi, I'm Mike Lais. And on behalf of Expert Village, this is playing piano 7th chords. So now, we have the dominant chord. Let's look at some of the other inversions of it that we can do. For example, the first inversion, which is what we're going to talk about here, is where we spell out from the 3rd of the chord as opposed to the root of the chord. So we're going to go here. We'll take our C dominant 7 again which is 1, 3, 5, flat 7, and we're going to do the first inversion of this, which we're basically starting off on the root and just taking--or we're starting off on the third, taking the root, bringing that up to the octave. Right? So we're going to go--the first inversion is spelled 3, 5, flat 7, 1. Just like that. That's going to be your first inversion of a dominant 7th chord.
