Formation of a major triad

Major triad:

• C (root): I
• E (third): III
• G (fifth): V
  Triads can be sounded with any note at it's bass. This is called Triad Inversion.
  Example inversion for the Major triad:
• E-G-C: where E is the bass note.
• G-C-E: where G is the bass note.
• C-E-G: where C is the bass note.
  ....Inversions
  Triad:
• Root Position: C-E-G
• First Inversion: E-G-C
• Second Inversion: G-C-E
  Seventh Chord:
• Root Position: G-B-D-F
  -First Inversion: B-D-F-G to G C E
  -Second Inversion: D-F-G-B to G C E
• Third Inversion: F-G-B-D to G C E. Try this : D-F#-A-C to G-B-D , and
  C-E-G-Bb to F-A-C, all within the key of C Major.
