How to Play a 1625 1st Inversion Chord Voicing

Hi, I'm Mike Lais and on behave of Expert Village this is Piano Chord Voicing. The one, six, two, five first inversion. There are a few ways you can do this. Especially, since we are dealing with so many chords. You can really just kind of feel it out however you really feel comfortable playing it or what kind of a sound you are looking for. But the most common way people are going to do this with the one, six, two, five in first inversion; we are going to start first inversion. I will just play it through. We are going to go one, six, two, five, and one. If you notice my hand stays pretty stationary there. So we are going to be in first inversion for the one chord. And then all I am going to do is to take this note and move it up to an E and now we have a second inversion E minor chord or the six. So now I am just going to take my thumb and my pinkie and slide those up a note. Now that gives me my A minor or my two in first inversion, then play a root position five chord, and then we are back to it. So that is going to be one first inversion, six second inversion, two first inversion, and then we are going to be in a root position five chord. Back to the one. If you wanted to do it you could use some of the chords that we used in the root position example where we were one, six. If you wanted to bring this down you could, just like that. If you wanted to use a root position two, but most commonly it s going to be most comfortable for you too if you do it the other way which again is first inversion, second inversion, first inversion, root position, and first inversion.
