A Quick Explainer of what to do in this lesson.

* 🎼 Choose a Scale - Example: G Major
* 🎹 Play the Tonic chord along with the 2nd & 7th degrees - Example: G Major Scale - Tonic is G Major, ii is Am & vii is F#dim
* 🎶 Travel Ascending & Descending by Inverting the Chords
* 📓 Look at my Notes and 📺 Watch the Full Tutorial on YouTube to understand this properly

🎵 This lesson aims to give you a holistic and musical way to practice chords and their inversions by pairing them as triads that have no notes in common. While this becomes a rock-solid way to develop your skills with diatonic harmony, you will also learn all the essential music theory 🎼, train your ear 👂, practice rhythm patterns 🥁, and compose melodic phrases 🎶 along the way.
