you're most welcome!

I'm a beginner, and so far I've done very well learning my Major & Minor scales, which I practice every day. However, I was curious about chord inversions after reading an interview with Elton John. He said when he was a boy, and having very small hands, he found it easier to invert some chords rather than having his hands jump all over the keyboard. I had no clue what an inversion was, so I jumped on KZbin, and there you were. Thank you so much for explaining it clearly where even a newbee can understand it. Count me as a loyal subscriber.

[@BitesizePiano]

So pleased to help 🎹🤗

[@johannh2000]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@mairinr1120]

Great minds think alike 😂 I was *just* watching your old video on this yesterday!

[@BitesizePiano]

it has my old logo on it and everything! And I sound so formal haha

[@reineh3477]

This was one of the first questions I asked myself when I started to play. I'm a bit lazy so I want to move my hand as little as possible, it's also easier to change chords when you don't have to look at your hand all the time. It takes a bit of time in the beginning to invert all chords in your head but I'm getting better and better.

[@charlieharpman2107]

Heyyy Francesca!!! 😀 I love these refresher ( basic)!videos. Very well explained as usual. The demonstration is very helpful. The displays of the notes per inversion are great!! Awesome tutorial!! 😊⭐️

[@ronanportley4409]

It's amazing to me how piano teachers never explained this when I learned piano🤔- they just got you to learn the inversion scales for the exams without explaining the significance of the inversions in music-it would have helped to connect the dots-thank you Francesca!

[@airconditioner6576]

Well explaine thanks!

[@ricdip001]

This was a great explanation. Thanks do much. I now get it!

[@cleangaming8173]

Love that little harp in the background, such a beautiful thing!

[@artic959]

Francesca, thanks for a very informative video, I was cheating a lot when I would play triad chords, because it was easier, but playing the easy stuff all the time, does not a musician make, you only learn when taking on a new challenge, now I analyze the name of the chord, and hunt it down in my chord book, and say what it is as I play it, like C sus 4th, DM augmented, and so on, always learning. Thanks again.

[@garytrent1]

[@chukseme3872]

Wow that's great for your career

[@Wolfbite-qq5gk]

I am among those who started playing late in life, and started by imitating piano tutorials for songs I liked in order to keep me motivated, and kind of had to figure out why the pianists were calling 3 different positions a C, for example. I did not understand inversions, but with repetition my interpretation was that the 1st Inversion is where 1 of the original notes is played in the root note position, and the 2nd inversion was where 2 of the notes are played in the original root note position. This is like a mental mnemonic device for me, particularly since I do not read music yet (bought your book; am working on it). Does it apply to the 7, Major 7 chords etc., or do I have to unlearn some things before I move forward?

[@samnoah6202]

❤❤❤❤amazing ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ryanbautista885]

Any tips on how to choose a rhythm to use on a song. Sometimes there are songs that I don't know how to play the chords to match the rythm that the song needs.

[@perrenialkemai6538]

Hey! I was just wondering if you can show us how to play "California Dreamin" by the mamas and papas. If you cant its totally fine! :D

[@watchingyoutube7330]

Hi. Are chord inversions identified by using Slash chords? For example, is the first inversion of a C major written as C/E? I'm not sure how I stumbled upon that but I was hoping that you could clarify. Thank you.

[@BitesizePiano]

Not necessarily. You could be playing an inversion chord in the RH but be playing the root note of that chord in the bass with your LH.

[@sorayaariza9195]

Hii, I love your tutorials, you are so good! ❤can you do Getting Older by Billie Eilish pleasee pleasee pleasee 🙏🏻❤

[@francescabitoon1737]

hi! could you make a tutorial on the song 'only by lee hi'? that would be very much appreciated

[@allgood6760]

Nice one👍🇳🇿

[@santoshsharma-kr4rx]

Hello mam can you explain that if i play chords with vocal in c major scale example. We should use inversion chords or root chords for better sound. If we should use inversion chords then please suggest which inversion chords is required to play in c major, d major and e major chords . Please suggest 🙏🏻

[@reineh3477]

As far as I understand, it depends on which chord comes before and which chord that comes after. Play so you have to move your hand as little as possible.

[@santoshsharma-kr4rx]

@@reineh3477 thanks a lot for sharing information.

[@eddieloujones2673]

Is it necessary/recommended to have the root in both the bass and the chord ?

[@BitesizePiano]

The lowest note is part of the chord. They aren’t two separate things.

[@Robert-ts2ef]

My problem being an old bugger (74) is that I can’t determine which inversion of a chord to use quickly enough and keep in time with the music. Any tips?

[@iddoadu-gyamfi4915]

Can U please do a tutorial on lord you're holy ballin - Sunday service choir

[@annhester3983]

Important Question??? What fingerings do we use for each inversion? 135? 125?? What fingering what inversion. Are these fingering different if it's a C Major vs F#Major

[@BitesizePiano]

Done carol of the bells and fight song. Did you not search for tutorials already…?

[@gonzalomorales1342]

I wonder why you say the normal way in quotation marks in 1:50

[@BitesizePiano]

Because that’s how many people learning piano describe root position chords.

[@sofiiaeysmont9199]
