Piano Chords
Every quality, every inversion and voicing — the piano shows chord structure with nothing hidden. Tap any card to hear it.
C
CEG
Basic major triad. Happy, stable.
Root position
The root is on the bottom — planted and stable.
1st inversion
3 in the bass — same chord, new posture.
2nd inversion
5 in the bass — same chord, new posture.
Why inversions matter here
On piano, moving between chords in root position means leaping. Choose the right inversions and consecutive chords share keys — your hand barely moves and the sound melts together. Practice C → F → G7 → C using whichever inversion keeps your hand closest to where it already is.
