"Now, let's look at the D major triad; the 2nd inversion, the notes in D major are D the root; F sharp the 3rd and A the 5th, so of course we need the 5th in the base, we need A in the base and A is found on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string; and we add D the root on the 2nd fret of the 2nd string and we add F sharp the 3rd of the chord on the 1st fret of the 1st string. That's D major 2nd inversion the notes are A, D, F sharp; this same voicing can be easily moved up 12 frets, now you have the same exact chord only one octave higher starting with A on the 14th fret."
