How to Play a 1625 Root Chord Voicing

Hi, I'm Mike Lais and on behave of Expert Village this is Piano Chord Voicing. We have a one, four, five chord progression done, and we got our one, five, four chord progression down. So here is another turn around; a one, six, two, five. This is a common one that everybody uses. A way you want to voice this, here we are going to do a root position example. We are just going to go one; it will be in the key of G. Again, the same voicing s apply for most keys. So really you just want to try and keep your hands stationary. To play this through we are going to go one, six, two, five, and one. We are starting off in root position we are in the one. We are going to go one, three, five. Now the sixth chord, we are going to do a first inversion which is an E minor chord in the key of G. So I just start off on the third and all I did was just move that D up and we got our six chord there. Now I am just going to take these two, slide them up one step to the A minor chord in root position which is going to be the two. And then the five is a D chord in the key of G. So the best way to grab this is take these two and slide them up. And there you have it. Again, that is going to be a root position for the one, first inversion for the six, root position for the two, and then second inversion for the five.
