How to Play a 3rd Inversion Piano Chord

Hi, I'm Mike Lais and on behave of Expert Village this is Piano Chord Voices. So now we have the root position, the first and the second inversion. And there is another where we are going to go to the third inversion and this is just kind of an overview of it. That is when you actually have a seventh or a tension end of the chord. If you want to know more about those check out the other segments. I have seven chord segments and I have a tension segment. But basically, the third inversion is going to be what we have been doing except you start on the seventh of the chord. So, if we were to play, let's say we were to keep the G chord. And now we are going to add a major seventh onto the G chord which is going to be an F sharp. Then I am just going to simply go up to the seventh where that is going to be my root note. Just like that. That is going to be the third inversion. We will get more into the sevenths and all that stuff later on. I just wanted to give you an overview of an example of what to do with that. But anyway, that is your third inversion. It is going to be seventh, the root or the first. Then it is going to be the third and the fifth. Just like that. That is third inversion.
