This makes it easier to make other choices as shown here below: One of the things that is an advantage with these voicings is that the way the notes are spread around the octaves makes them less obvious for voice leading. The 2nd example is going against this and has a top note melody that moves up. It is often easier to move from chord to chord while descending since the voice-leading is naturally moving down. The first one is using a descending top note melody from G to E. In the examples below combines three different inversions in a II V I. The goal with making the inversions is of course also to put the voicings together in new examples of II V I voicing sets.
When we order the notes in a pitch row we get: Eb,F,B and Db.Īgain this is used to create the other inversions by moving up and down in the tone row on each string.
The Altered dominant chord in this lesson is a G7(b5b13) voicing, as shown here below.
In the 2nd voicing I move one of the voicings from the 4th to the 3rd string to make it easier to play. With this row we have can produce the 3 other inversions of this chord. If we order the notes in pitch it gives us the row: E,F,G,C Notice how stacks of 5ths seems to reappear in these voicings. The Dm7 voicing is a Dm7(9,11) and the notes are F,C,G and E. If we move that down an inversion (using the same strings and the row of notes) we get E,A,G,D and in that way the rest of the inversions are created. This yields a way of moving to other inversions. If we order those in pitch we get: G A D E (as shown in the 2nd bar) The original voicing is (from low to high) G,D,A,E. When inverting voicings the idea is that you have to order the notes in pitch within an octave and use that as a reference to find the inversions. I guess the thinking is that it is just a tonic chord in a major scale. Strictly speaking this is a C6/9 voicing since the notes are G,A,D & E., but since maj6/9 and maj7 chords are pretty much interchangeable I have notated it as a maj7.

How to make inversions – Inversions for the Cmaj7 voicing You could in that respect argue that Holdsworth doesn’t really have a voicing vocabulary that allows him to comp in that way, which he also never really did. That means that when I use these voicings I am not trying to convey a groove or work with them. The point of playing a structure like this is to really show case the way the combination of notes sound. This type of chord voicing is to me is most useful for sustained voicings. When I made this example I realized that the Cmaj7 chords were inversions of each other and that made me take this approach to the lesson. When I made this I was just planning to make a few examples of how to apply voicings like this to a II V I. The starting point is shown here below with two chords per bar. The focus of this lesson is on the larger voicings with 4 notes spread out over 2 octaves. The main example is a II V I using some of the voicings that I picked up from Allan Holdsworth. Taking a voicing and inverting it is probably the most efficient way to find more chords and it is also a great exercise to check or improve your knowledge of the fretboard. I then go over how to invert them and demonstrate how you can generate more great chord voicings from this material. In this video I am going to start with some voicings that I checked out from Holdsworth and apply them to a II V I. Allan Holdsworth is famous for his very beautiful but also quite difficult and advanced jazz chords.
