Do we use chord inversions in guitar and uke playing?
If so, are they used often? or just for very advanced players?
Or - What sort of players use them often? beginner, intermediate, advanced and what styles of music use them more often?
I am trying to understand if I need to be solid in this point of music theory for my instrument playing and should I ever progress to trying to write songs, would i use them then.
For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know what a chord inversion is and wants to understand this topic at all. A chord inversion is a rearrangement of the notes in the basic chord structure. The notes of the chord are the same but they are played at a higher or lower pitch. The basic chord structure is known as a triad in root position - according to the music theory course i'm currently trying to do.
