Chords by Notes: Chord Transitions
The graphic below shows the notes in three chords as each note transitions either to a different note in the next chord or remains in the same position.
- Some chords have the same note in common. So there’s no change in these notes when the chords change.
- The first and last chords (G major and F major) are in root position (their root notes are furthest to the left) while the middle chord (C major) is a second inversion chord (the note G is in root position).
