Intro to Triads, Part 2: Inversions
 

In the second part of Intro to Triads, Grant shows you the three different “voicings” of a major triad: root position (1–3–5, in G that’s G–B–D), first inversion (3–5–1, in G that’s B–D–G), second inversion (5–3–1, in G that's D–G–B). Then he shows you how to find the G major triad inversions on different string sets all over the fingerboard, so you’ll learn every possible G major triad you can play on the acoustic guitar in this lesson.
