"Okay, and so for the final inversion, it's called the second inversion. Still the G chord. So, with this shape, I'm starting on the lowest three strings and G's on the top of this one. Okay. This is stacked with the fifth on the bottom, the third, and the root. G, D, D. So, using the same theory we're going to move up to the next set of three strings, and so essentially we're looking for G on this high string. It's there. And we're going to build the same shape. We have to use this open string here. Here, and I'd re-finger it like that. So, once again a symmetrical position. G being the top note of this shape. Okay. So if I'm going to stack the three inversions up, you know, here's an exercise. That was a identification really for you all. This is an exercise where you can kind of go up and play - let's just look at a G chord. There's a G root position chord. The G first inversion chord. Okay. And the G second inversion."
