Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Mike Lais and on behave of Expert Village this is Piano Chord Voicing. The one, five, four. Now we are going to talk about it where you start off in a second position with the one chord. There are a few ways you can do this, but the biggest; the basic way you are going to want to do this is going to look something like this. First off, let's play through it. So we are going to go one, five, four, and one. Some of you may have already guessed that that was a second inversion one chord in the key of G. We are in the key of G for consistency sake. We are going to start off with the one chord, second inversion. And then we are going to go to a root position, five. So I do not have to move my thumb, I just have to change out these two with these two right here. Now I am going to go to a first inversion four chord and then right back to a second inversion. Again, that is second inversion, that is root position, that is first inversion, and then that is back to the second inversion. And that is one way to do it. Another way you can do it again is with a couple of root positions if you want to get to move down the keyboard. So for in second inversion we are going to go to root position and then if you wanted to you could slide it down again to the root position which brings you to be in a first inversion one chord. And that is one, five, four in second inversion."
