Understanding Chord Inversions - Music Composition

What are chord inversions? How do we write them? How do we identify chord inversions and why do we need them? Refresh your knowledge of the diatonic chords and 7ths within any key and understand how chords can be presented in their various inversions. Specific examples are given at each stage and the descriptions of chords are explained in the Roman Numeral system, both combined with letters and with Figured Bass descriptions in the two internationally recognised systems, as well as being illustrated in lead sheet style. A useful video if you want to get a grip on inversion chords, how they work, how to label them, with tips on which inversion to use where.
