Inversions

[Samy]

Can anyone tell me whwat are inversions on a guitar and how do they work

Inversions are just different ways of playing a certain chord. Google it.

Inversions are, basically, a different way to play essentially the same thing elsewhere on the fretboard, mostly regarded with chords.

If you take any chord, you can almost always play the same chord or it's inversion higher up (Or lower down, depending where the first chord is of course) the fretboard using the same notes are previously used it the first chord.

What makes it an inversion though is that the notes will tend to be in a different order of fingering etc.

So instead of playing a chord comprised of

C A E G

you could change your fingering and then play

A E G C

The key of the chord will change, at least in this example, because the root has changed but if the context of the song remains unchanged (Or follows a similar inversion) it will be ok.

I think that makes sense.
