Ken said: "I concur with Tom. You count from the bottom up. A "6" is the interval between the E and the C when in first inversion. In second inversion, G, C, E, there is a 4th between the G-C and an "6" between the G-E." Ken Gerler (I was a theory major in college) Hmmm? if that were the case, then the later would be a 4/6 rather than a 6/4. Right?<G> Personally, I prefer the Jazz Musicians way of saying something like "the C chord with a G in the bass.<G> That's my take on that. Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
