Tempo 60 bpm
Tuning gDGBD

In this banjo tablature you will be able to clearly see all the different inversions of the G major triad on strings 2, 3 and 4. A triad is the group of 3 notes that form any major or minor chord. An inversion refers to the different order in which those notes can be combined. A G major triad has the notes G-B-D. In this order it's said to be in root position. That's because G is the lowest note. Strings 3, 2, & 1 are a G major triad in root position: G - B - D.

The 1st inversion of the G major triad is B-D-G. It's the second triad in the banjo tablature. Play it and listen to familiarize yourself with the sound. The 2nd inversion of the G major triad is "spelled" D-G-B. Strings 4, 3, & 2 are the 2nd inversion of a G major triad: D - G - B.

Take note of the shapes, sounds, and patterns that occur. If you see, hear or play one of these inversion shapes with a different chord type, A for example, the other inversions will follow the same pattern and be the same shape and distance away as they occur in this tablature.
