Learn About the Dominant 7th Chord's 2nd Inversion

MIKE LAIS: Hi, I'm Mike Lais. And on behalf of Expert Village, this is playing piano 7th chords. All right, so we're on the dominant chord. Here is going to be the dominant chord on the second inversion. And again, the inversions are just the chords flipped upside down or flipped with different ways for you to be able to find different voicings with your chords. So if we're going to take the C7 or the C dominant 7, in which case you just say C7, we're going to be here on the root position. All right? And we already gave you the first inversion so now we're just going to move it up one more time starting on the 5th, so we're going to take the root and the 3rd and put those on top of the chord right up here. So we're going to go 5, flat 7, 1, 3. Okay, you see that? That's going to give you your second inversion for this. So let's say, if I were coming out of--again, let's say, if I were coming out of a G minor 7 chord and I wanted to go to the C7, I just simply take it here and then I go to the second inversion, right there. Now, I'm at a C7, which brings you to the 1 but--right there. That's going to be 5, flat 7, 1, 3. That's your second inversion for a dominant 7th chord.
