InversionsChord inversions refer to the different ways you can play a chord by rearranging the order of its notes. When a chord is inverted, one or more notes are shifted up an octave, changing the "bass" or lowest note of the chord. Even though the notes remain the same, the overall sound and feel of the chord changes depending on which note is the lowest.
