Inversions: The Secret To Becoming A Better Chord Player
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In this video I explore the power of inversions though its theory and application. The video gives some solid examples of why you would use this technique, and it also demonstrates the sound of progressions that use inversions, versus progressions that don't
This is a huge, foundational, concept that that every player should at least be somewhat familiar with so definitely try and study this as closely as you can.

things that keep me up at night: how to use modes
why trevor doesnt have millions of views
Hahaha, I hear ya on those modes though. Modes aren't as tricky as they might seem! Check out this video I made: ruclips.net/video/80DTBNriqIs/видео.html
I lose way too much sleep over modes...
I don't get it. What's hard with modes? It's just the different scales you can get from a single scale by starting at different notes. It's really not that hard at all.
Edit: *By using the different notes as the root note.
I'm losing sleep over modes right now
@@Aurora-oe2qp Everybody gets it that far, but how to actually use them is where every guitar teacher gets vague. They usually loop one chord and play the notes of the mode. Fat lot of good that is.
Playing with a bassist in a full band setting make choosing chord voicings so much easier too. I've got a pretty bad tremor which makes a lot of chords with colorful extensions pretty difficult to play, but being able to let the bassist carry the root frees me up to build my voicings around the extensions I want, rather than focusing on keeping my root in the bass all the time.
I think this was a big part of why my introduction to math rock and Midwest emo happened through years of jazz guitar, rather than through the punk and grunge I played beforehand. Focusing on ergonomic styles of playing rather than the punk style of moving power chord shapes up and down the neck, always suited my hands much better, and having a more diverse palette of chord tones through inversions came as an added benefit.
I really need to keep this in mind when composing, thanks...
Error at 0:43, you wrote I-V-iii-V however there should be a IV in there, great vid!
criminally underrated channel, keep it up dude! x
Thanks Ted!
Now this is big pp Time for sure
Needs to not talking and stum chords at the same time so we can hear the differences like he tells us to but he talks over it 😡
Some fingering diagrams would have gone a long way to helping to visually illustrate your points here
Thanks for sharing
This will help with my jazzy and hella-esque style for sure
Rad! I think it'll help with any style you play, whether its a conscious thing or not, a lot of math rock sounds are based on inversions of familiar sounds
Awesome...but please show chord shapes on the screen...thanks
so basically inversions are the opposite of power chords in regards to how they're used
I got confused thinking the Roman numerals said 1 5 3 5. How are those even decided? Ik it's kinda minor but it fucks with me on vids like these 😅
I love CHORDS! HARMONY, AND CHORD PROGRESSIONS! Your teaching is awesome! I love it !! You've got my support;;
Me not understanding a single thing: Yea, I totally understand everything
I have enormous interest in this. Being able to create these beautiful sounds is so cathartic. Thank you for your content Trevor, it's easy to follow and really pleasing to watch. Strapline=Play guitar. Beautifully. Namaste x
my pinky wont reach the major 7 in G
Squier jazzmaster...
Yum
wow, that was really cool!
thank you so much G
Wow, almost all of my original material turns out to be inversions, which would explain why I've never been able to communicate to other musicians what chords I'm playing. For example, one of my songs uses that same voicing you played for F#m7/E, among almost every other chord being inversions I haven't worked out the names for yet, and my friend would ask what chord I'm playing and I'd just look at the lowest note fretted and go "Idk it's E major something". I'm going to go through all my stuff and find out what I'm actually playing as a way to practice this! Great video.
Why didn't you put the chord boxes up?
how did you get so well versed in theory? i’m just starting and i would really like to get to your level of comfort with the guitar
just do some internet searches or get a book and start learning. it's like anything else, find resources that cover the material and start working your way through it. two really nice things about learning music theory:
1) it's a popular topic so there are lots of high quality free or cheap resources
2) way easier to start trying to apply the concepts than, say, learning to be a mechanic - just pick up your instrument
@@doug604 thank you :) I spend the last few weeks frustrated that I don't know theory, then realized this week that I know everything I need already, I just need to learn how to apply it onto my guitar, and its been going well since that aha moment
@@tele_alan awesome glad to hear it :)
This lesson is worth 1000
God dammit, i keep trying to have a day off from music but youtube doesn't want that ARGHHHH
trevor, youre an absolute fuckin genius and a stud
I love you. I absolutely love you. Thank you so much for helping with something Ive been struggling for so long. Thank you.
why didn't you use a Gmaj7/C# instead of Gmaj7/E? 3:40
i love your channel and content, i was long ago searching for someone who could illustrate this topics the way you do it, theory + guitar, and advanced stuff. there are lots of channes about shredding and that but i got bored of rock, now I'm more into this type of thing.
hi, is there a post on your patreon with chord diagrams for some of these voicings? on a cursory search i can't find one. particularly the Cmi11 run at the end. Thanks, your channel is very interesting and informative
Dude can you please do some diatonic funstion stuff involving minor scale. If you already have I haven't been able to find it
Another articulate and informative video. A lot of people are talented players but the way you teach really shows how you’ve internalized this knowledge. Thanks Trevor.
Hey thanks man, that means a ton! Glad you find this stuff helpful!
2:54, 5:28, 6:11 that part of the major scale made only with two chords is very interesting! 7:49 And that las part is just Magic! all the sounds that can be created with the pitches of Cmin11 on different inversion, and Voicings/ Positions!!!
Really enjoyed working through those Cm11 voicings at the end. Great video!
Thanks for helping me out of this fret hand rut.
I just want to say you are a legend
What a brilliant and simple explanation, love your channel!
this is one of the most helpful and informative guitar channels I've found, thank you!
Everything you post is so helpful
Super glad to hear that, thank you!
Thank you
Always solid advice
Thanks!
How should I go about practicing inversions? Amazing vid as always!
Love these videos. thanks
Thanks Anthony!
Why physically small people always choose to play jazzmasters and hollow bodies is beyond me
