Inversions on the Guitar: Transform Your Playing!

Learn the three major shapes on the first three strings that form the same chord. Move between second inversion, root position, and first inversion by shifting shapes along the neck.

Transform major guitar shapes into minor by lowering the third a half step, and use inversions across the first strings to form consistent minor shapes.

Explore second-string major shapes on the guitar from an A chord, mastering root position, first inversion, and second inversion, while moving shapes up five and four frets.

Explore second string minor chords by adjusting the third of each chord to a half step down, creating A minor shapes and major shapes across root and inversions on fretboard.

Move between the two string sets using root, first inversion, and second inversion shapes to match overlapping notes. This inversion-based approach makes moving chords up and down the neck easy.

Practice inversion-based chord shapes to play close by moving between C and F, exploring nearby fingerings and overlapping notes to navigate progressions.

Explore major shapes on the third and fourth string sets, with identical shapes across string sets. Master root position, first inversion, and second inversion, using fret-shift patterns.

Explore third-string minor shapes and inversions on the guitar, dropping the chord’s third by a half step from major shapes, across root, first, and second inversions.

Practice major and minor inversion shapes across the guitar neck and strings, moving between nearby shapes, and build a final project by recording and uploading your chord progressions.
