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 E Minor triad. The 2nd note in the E Minor triad is G. So we now start from that note. We want to continue playing 5 string arpeggios, so we go down to the 10th fret. We then add the 3rd note (B), then the first (E), etc. By doing so we end up with the shape shown below.

This is not an easy shape as far as arpeggios go. There is some barreing required and a wide stretch on the E string.

With this exercise, make sure that you play the barred notes cleanly. Your fingers have to do a lot of work to pull this one off.
