What is the root of this inverted triad?

6.3 Inverted Triads

An inverted triad does not have the root as the lowest note. It is important to distinguish between root and bass. The root of a chord is the lowest note when the notes are stacked in thirds. The bass is the lowest note, which might be the root, third, or fifth.

How do inversions work?

In theory, inversion therapy takes gravitational pressure off the nerve roots and disks in your spine and increases the space between vertebrae. Inversion therapy is one example of the many ways in which stretching the spine (spinal traction) has been used in an attempt to relieve back pain.

What does root position and chord inversions mean?

A chord is in root position if its root is the lowest note. This is sometimes known as the parent chord of its inversions.

What is the point of inversions?

The trick is to use inversions to keep notes that are common to both chords in the same position in each chord. If there are no common tones, then use the same inversion of each chord to keep the note movement to a minimum.
