"Now let's check out D minor. It's notes are D, the root, F the third and A the fifth. And so in the second inversion of this cord, we begin with the fifth of the cord, which is A. And now we play A on the seventh fret of the fourth string. We play D, the root, on the seventh fret of the third string. And we play F, the third, on the fifth fret of the second string. So we have A, D, F, A minor second inversion. And we can more this up as well and play this starting on the nineteenth fret.
