This lesson revisits the triad arpeggios, showing several inversions (inversions are just arpeggios or chords started from a different note). Each triad has 3 notes, so that means we can start the triad from any of these 3 notes. When we start from the first note, there is no inversion going on (we call it the root arpeggio). Starting from the 2nd note gives us the first inversion, and starting from the 3rd note gives us the 2nd inversion. In this lesson we will play inversions for the Major and Minor triad across 5 strings.

Now we are going to play an inversion of the D Major triad. The 2nd note in the D Major triad is F#. So we simply start from that note. We want to continue playing 5 string arpeggios, so we go down to the 7th fret. We then add the 3rd note, then the first, etc. By doing so we end up with the shape shown below.

This is a convenient arpeggio shape, because you can use one finger to handle the D, G, and B string. There is a pretty good sized stretch though from the 3rd to 8th fret on the E string.

Play this like any other arpeggio. Make sure that you roll finger along the D, G, and B string so that notes are not bleeding into one another.
