Exactly what I need. Don’t know why…I could and should figure this out by myself, but it seems that a teacher helping me on my way is a huge plus in these exercises. I’ve only started learning most of these inversions about a year ago, it takes time, I know. I love it how you throw in these standards as well Alex, thanks man, going strong, take care. 🙏

Alex Farran Guitar

Thanks for the comment Gert, I’m glad you find it useful! Guided practice is a huge part of learning, you’re right! 👍🏻

Roel Meeus

Perfect lesson! I was trying to apply it to 'All the things you are' as you suggested but that was a little too ambitious for me :-)

Wayne America

Lovely! This was a great idea to follow on from Inversions part one.

Alex Farran Guitar

Nice one Roel.. definitely give “All The Things You Are” another go once you’ve got the hang of this one 👍🏻

Wayne America

OK great! I like garage music so how about more on blues guitar improvisation to help me build a foundation. I think you covered Steve Cropper and Stax previously. Or maybe something like Freddy King

Ralph Lyle

plus the problem of getting the 3 fingers to pluck evenly

Alex Farran Guitar

that can take a bit of time for sure, but your ears will tell you when it's right.

Gert De Groof

Really interesting how you focus on the bass movement Alex…but not quite sure how to interpret that. Is that just the way you ‘see’ the different shapes on the fretboard and for instance movement between certain inversions or is there more to it?

Luis Batista

Fantástico resumen para aprender a trabajar con las inversiones,gracias.

Beautiful Voicings in this context. The tune is a new one, and the same we know, at the same time. Funny. So much work though… Thanks Alex.

I use Autumn Leaves inversions just like this for my daily warmup but only on the top strings, will work in the others now after watching. Another follow up might be to working some single note ideas transitioning from one change to the next in this progression?

Alex Farran Guitar

Nice one Ron, glad you enjoyed the lesson. Good idea for another follow up lesson.. will get that done soon 👍🏻

Hi, Alex. I have a Q. How come in the major ii-V-I portion of the chord progression, the ii chord is a minor 7 rather than a minor 6? Wouldn't the minor six, leading to the dom V, be the typical chord choice there? i guess both the flat 7 and the natural 6 (of the min ii chord) are diatonic to the overall key -- is the idea that you "save" the 6 note (of the minor ii chord) for when we move to dom V (where it becomes the major third)? sorry perhaps i am completely confused. i'm just used to throwing in that minor 6 sound on the ii chord, and wondering what the "book" says, and your thoughts
