Part 4/8:
Similarly, the minor triads are practiced across their four inversions, with attention to fingerings that facilitate smooth transitions, especially when switching to single-note lines. An example voicing might include a root, flat third, and fifth, with fingering optimized for fluid movement.
Diminished Spread Triads
Diminished triads (1-flat 3-flat 5) are more symmetrical and tricky due to their half-step relationships. Practicing their inversions—starting with the root position, then moving to the first and second inversions—builds familiarity. Using fingerings like 1-2-1 can help facilitate smoother transitions and cleaner execution.
