[pianotech] theory question

[Matthew Todd]

The correct way to write these inversions is:
 
I 5/3
I 6/3
I 6/4
 
Any minor chords would be notated with an "i".
 
These can be very helpful for horizontial progressions.

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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_%28music%29

>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.
