Inversions
| Inversion | Bass note | Note order (bottom → top) |

| 1st inversion | E | E – G – C |
| 2nd inversion | G | G – C – E |
Right hand: play the three or four notes with fingers 1–2–3–5 (thumb on the bottom note). Left hand: play the bass note — the root in root position, the 3rd in 1st inversion — an octave lower.
How it works: A piano chord is its notes stacked in thirds (mostly): root, then the 3rd, the 5th, and the 7th for seventh chords. Inversions keep the same notes and change which one is lowest.
