Subject: chord inversions. rick needs help!
Hi. I know I'm one of the folks that usually jumps in to answer questions like these, but for the moment I'm stumped.
I got a call from a student this morning asking what the name for a chord with a 1, 5, and 4th in it would be. It got me thinking that I certainly know how to name chords that contain a basic triad eg: 1,3,5. and all possible additions, but what do you do when the triad is incomplete, but other notes (2nd, 4th, b7th, etc.) are added?
Thanks
Rick
