Chord Inverter
Take any chord and flip it into its inversions. See the new bass note, the note order and the piano keyboard for each inversion.
C — every inversion
An inversion keeps the same notes and changes which one is lowest. The chord name never changes — only the bass note does.
| Inversion | Bass note | Notes (bottom → top) |
|---|---|---|
| Root position | C | C – E – G |
| 1st inversion | E | E – G – C |
| 2nd inversion | G | G – C – E |
How it works: Root position has the root in the bass. 1st inversion puts the 3rd in the bass, 2nd inversion the 5th, 3rd inversion (seventh chords only) the 7th. Inversions smooth out bass lines — that is why C–G/B–Am works so well.
