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.

This is not an inversion. We refer to this as the root arpeggio, because it starts from the first note of the E Minor triad (i.e. it starts from the E). The exercise is just like part 3 of the Minor triad exercises, but we are playing the arpeggio 1 octave lower.

Here is the Minor triad arpeggio shape that you have probably seen before, if you have checked out the Triad Arpeggios lesson.

Use the sweep picking technique as desribed in the Triad Arpeggios lesson to play this exercise.
