How to Play a 145 1st Inversion Chord Voicing

Hi, I'm Mike Lais and on behave of Expert Village this is Piano Chord Voicing. The one, four, five in first inversion. This is just another example of what we are going to do if we start off. Instead of starting off in root position, we start off on the first inversion. We are going to want to use the first inversion for the one chord. We are going to use a root position for the four chords, and then we are going to use a second inversion for the five chords. So we are going to keep in the key of G just for consistence sake, but we are going to want to say, so let s say before we had the example of starting in root position. We were like this; second inversion, first inversion. So now I am going to start in first inversion. All I want to do is just move these two fingers up. And that is going to be my four chords. So now you are here. You have a couple of options here, you can just slide this up, but then you have a jump coming in here. So if you were here on your five you would want to finish right there. But what I like to do and what most people are going to tell you to do, is if you start off on first inversion; three, five, one. Go to the four in root position and then go to the five in second inversions. And that will get you right back to your first inversion. It just kind of keeps the hand stationary. Again, so that is going to be first inversion for the one, root position for the four, second inversion for the five, and then back to first inversion for the one.
