How to Play a 145 Root Chord Voicing

Hi, I'm Mike Lais and on behave of Expert Village this is Piano Chord Voicing. Alright, so now that we have the inversions down here is an example of how you are going to want to use them. If we were to take the first chord in root position, to use the other inversions of this stuff we are going to want to use the second chord on a second inversion and we are going to want to use the third chord on the first inversion. So let's give an example. Let's say we are going to play in the key of G and we are going to do chord progression one, four, five which is a G chord, a D chord, and a C chord. So it is just going to be those three. So if we are going to go one, four, five then we are going to go G, C, D, and G. But instead of that jumping around you can do it all simply right here without moving your hand at all. If we take the root position one, three, five, and then we go to the four. Then we do five, one, three or second inversion. And then if we do the first inversion of the five chord, which is going to be three, five, one and then back to the root. That is going to keep the hand stationary and it will just allow you to kind of be a little bit smoother with your playing. So again, if you are going to be in root position you go like this, root position, second inversion, first inversion, and root. One more time; It is going to be root, second inversion, I am just moving these two up. That is all I am doing. And I am going to take the whole thing and slide it down a little bit for the first inversion and back to the root. That is a one, four, five in root position.
