[pianotech] theory question

[Tom Rhea, Jr.]

Oops, I did.  The first inversion should have been spelled EGC.  My dyslexia
is showing..

 

I started learning music theory in the late 50s and am surprised that I
retained any of it.  :-)

 

Thanks for catching the error.

 

Regards,

Tom

Tom,

 

I think you might have accidently misprinted the first inversion in your
post.  You have it listed as ECG...shoud be EGC.

 

 

5/3 Chord: Root of C is:  C-E-G. (creates a 5th interval between C and G,
and a 3rd between C and E.

6/3 Chord: denotes the 1st Inversion of C is:  E-G---C.  (creates a 6th
interval between E and C, and a 3rd between E and G).

6/4 Chord: denotes the 2nd Inversion of C is:  G---C-E. (creates a 6th
between G and E, and a 4th between G and C)

 

(I wrote the chords above with spaces to give example also of the finger
general finger spacing (shape of the chords).

 

Here's a quick little explaination of inversions:

The '6' indicates a first inversion of the chord, e. a CEG major chord would
be ECG as spelled from the bottom.  A '64' indicates a second inversion,
i.e. a CEG chord would be spelled GCE as spelled from the bottom.

 

Enjoy!

Tom
