Reply To: Voiceleading Triads – moving between root and inversions

[Brenden Lowe]

HI Domenico,

I would try to learn the shapes of the chords as best as possible through the numbers without reading. The less you have to read the practice exercises to practice, the faster you’ll get better.

Try to anchor the inversions by knowing where the chord tones are in the chord. for example 1st inversion is 351. Trying to spot where the root is on top always helps then building down. But also whatever helps you memorize. Lots of repetitions are good. Practice these until about 75% because the 7th chords are much more important.
