Inversion

My youngest just had his first guitar lesson with his new teacher yesterday; his former teacher decided he no longer wanted to make the hour drive from Dallas just to teach a handful of students (can't say that I blame him). New teacher is a UNT grad student working on his Master's degree, studying jazz guitar. Got a call after the lesson and I asked him how it went. "Good," he said. "Ian is cool. He taught me inversions." "Inversions?" "Inverted chords. They sound really cool." That night I had him show me inversions. It was fascinating watching his skinny nimble fingers, now almost as long as mine, fretting the chords. He sounded good. Inverted.
