What Are Guitar Chord Inversions - Tips for Playing Rhythm Electric guitar

By Eugene Walk


Chord inversions use diatonic chords and are important for playing lead acoustic guitar. There are several aspects of playing the particular rhythm guitar well and the mastery of using chord inversions is one of them.

When you have moved from the fundamental to the advanced stage, it will be possible to play around with most of the chords. So you probably understand how best to play the A major note as it is one of the most elementary of most. If you are already a competent rhythm guitar then you probably know how to play in the A major chord with 3 different variations: an open An important chord plus the two barre note shapes, which has one using a root in the 6th line and the other with a root on the 5th string.

If you think with all these three positions you are ready to play your groove guitar but then here is another thing that you need to know: There are several various ways of playing A major, which fall under what is called lead electric guitar chord inversions.

What chord inversions really suggest is that you are playing the chords in inverse. If someone lets you know to play a major or modest chord inversion on your lead electric guitar then it simply means that the main or the minor chord needs to be played based on a different sequencing from the root chord, which is the 3 rd and 5th.

When the actual chord is right at the bottom this can be said that the chord will be "Major or Minor, Root Position". These days if we move the root chord to the top and leave the 3rd chord at the bottom then what we acquire is the chord "Major, or Minor, 1st Inversion". And if we boost the root further up to the middle say to the 3rd from the leading then this will leave the 5th at the bottom and it will be called chord "Major or Minor, Next Inversion".

When you learn how to invert the particular chords, it will add to your freedom, which will help you vastly inside playing rhythm guitar especially when you are trying to bring in harmony using chords. There are times when the actual melody can be best enjoyed using the top note in the chord and sometimes you will be able to do it by playing the guitar chord at the bottom or in the center.
