What is a 4 3 inversion?
Chords of the sixth that take the figures 6/4 or 6/4/3 (or an abbreviation such as 4/3) are second-inversion chords. They are so named because the fifth of the chord (the second member of the chord above the root) is in the lowest voice.
What is third inversion in music?
There is another inversion called a 3rd inversion. This happens when you are using a 4-note chord such as a seventh chord. If you put the 7th note at the bottom of the chord then this is in Third Inversion.
