In this segment I'd like to give you this exercise showing you different chord inversions.
And what [Abm] that means really is I'm going to take one chord at a time, I'm going to play everything in E,
everything in A, everything in D, everything in G, everything in C.
And I'm just going to use [Bb] all over the neck to show you these different positions.
And these are positions that you'll use a lot and hopefully you'll be able to slowly memorize them all.
So [E] let me just start with E.
So you've got E there, you've got E here, you've got E here, you've got E here, you've also got E there.
So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
There are several more too, like for instance there's one here, there's a 7th there, there's a 9th there.
So there's lots of variations of E.
Okay, let's go to A, [A]
D,
[D]
and again, and up here.
You can even go higher if you want.
G, [G]
C, [C]
[Am] [C] ending in the C.
So that's some of [N] the different positions that you can use.
And when you're working out songs and you're trying to get the melody and you're trying to get a nice chord underneath it,
sometimes you might find it in a different place than you expect.
For instance, in some of the songs that I play, if I'm playing in the key of D, sometimes I need to come right up here.
[D] So I'll play that D position, but my bass is here.
See that?
[A] And sometimes if I'm playing in A, like [Em] there's A [E] up there, and I've got the open [Em] A and the open [A] E bass.
And it's a very cool sound.
And you can find those kind of things everywhere.
[E]
E here, A, [A] sometimes I'll just use two fingers for an A and I'll get
See that?
So there's lots [E] of variations on that there.
And these are positions that you're going to be able to use
