Voiceleading Triad Inversions
Voiceleading is using the least amount of movement possible when changing chords.
- Step 1 – Start with the bottom note of your chord – Ask, is it a common note with the next chord change you are going to? If it is, then keep it the same. If not, go to step 2
- Step 2 – Find the closest note from your next chord to the bottom note that you are currently playing. Move your note there.
- Step 3 – Determine if your new bottom note is the root, 3rd, or 5th of your new chord. Once you have this determined, play the corresponding inversion.
- * Note * In Step 2 – If you have two notes that are equal distance from your bottom note, then move to the middle note in your chord and go back to step 1 and follow the steps.
