There are three hand positions and I’ll be showing you these hand positions in this lesson.<\/p>\n

In a “1-4-7-3” chord progression in the key of C major:<\/p>\n

1-chord:
\n
\n4-chord:
\n
\n7-chord:
\n
\n3-chord:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that the hand position will have to change entirely from its position in the 1-chord when the 4-chord is played:<\/p>\n

1-chord:
\n
\n4-chord:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…and it moves to another position when the 7-chord is played:<\/p>\n

7-chord:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this lesson, I’ll show you how all the scale tone chords can be played in a single hand position without moving up and down the keyboard.<\/p>\n

Quick Insights On The Concept Of Chord Progressions<\/h2>\n

A good way to start out in this segment is to refresh our minds on the concept of chord progression before delving into learning the hand positions.<\/p>\n

A chord progression is basically defined as the movement between chords. In tonal music, chord progressions in a prevalent key are between two chords in the key.<\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…there are seven unique scale tones: C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.<\/p>\n

…and each of them can be represented using numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.<\/p>\n

The chord from each of the scale tones are distinguished using these numbers. For example, the C major triad:
\n
\n…is distinguished as the 1-chord because C is the first tone and associated with the number 1.<\/p>\n

A chord progression between two scale tone chords:<\/p>\n

The C major triad:
\n
\nThe A minor triad:
\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…is described as a 1-6 chord progression because of the chord movement from the chord of the first tone to the chord of the sixth tone.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Who Else Is Interested In Learning The Three Hand Positions?”<\/em><\/h2>\n

For smoother chord progressions, it’s important for hand positions to be understood.<\/p>\n

These hand positions are derived from the three known ways of playing a triad: the root position, the first inversion, and the second inversion.<\/p>\n

Let’s go ahead and explore them in the key of C major.<\/p>\n

Hand Position #1 – The Root Position<\/h3>\n

The 1-chord in the key of C major:
\n
\n…is the C major triad:
\n
\n…which is played in its root position.<\/p>\n

“I’ll Go Ahead And Show You Other Scale Tone Chords In This Hand Position…”<\/em><\/p>\n

The 2-chord:
\n
\n…in root position.<\/p>\n

The 3-chord:
\n
\n…in second inversion.<\/p>\n

The 4-chord:
\n
\n…in second inversion.<\/p>\n

The 5-chord:
\n
\n…in first inversion.<\/p>\n

The 6-chord:
\n
\n…in first inversion.<\/p>\n

The 7-chord:
\n
\n…in root position.<\/p>\n

Hand Position #2 – The First Inversion<\/h3>\n

Playing the 1-chord in its first inversion produces the C major triad (in its first inversion):
\n
\n…and this is another hand position that all the chords can be played in for smoothness.<\/p>\n

“Here Are All Scale Tone Chords Played In The First Inversion Hand Position…”<\/em><\/p>\n

The 1-chord:
\n
\n…in first inversion.<\/p>\n

The 2-chord:
\n
\n…in first inversion.<\/p>\n

The 3-chord:
\n
\n…in root position.<\/p>\n

The 4-chord:
\n
\n…in root position.<\/p>\n

The 5-chord:
\n
\n…in second inversion.<\/p>\n

The 6-chord:
\n
\n…in second inversion.<\/p>\n

The 7-chord:
\n
\n…in first inversion.<\/p>\n

Hand Position #3 – The Second Inversion<\/h3>\n

The last (but not the least) hand position is the position of the second inversion of the 1-chord. Playing the C major triad in second inversion:
\n
\n…shows the third hand position in the key of C major.<\/p>\n

All the scale tone chords in the key of C major can also be played in this hand position.<\/p>\n

“Check Them Out…”<\/em><\/p>\n

The 1-chord:
\n
\n…in second inversion.<\/p>\n

The 2-chord:
\n
\n…in second inversion.<\/p>\n

The 3-chord:
\n
\n…in first inversion.<\/p>\n

The 4-chord:
\n
\n…in first inversion.<\/p>\n

The 5-chord:
\n
\n…in root position.<\/p>\n

The 6-chord:
\n
\n…in root position.<\/p>\n

The 7-chord:
\n
\n…in second inversion.<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

In a subsequent lesson, we’ll be learning how to play smooth chord progressions using the hand positions and chords covered in this lesson.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the importance of learning these hand positions in other keys cannot be over-emphasized.<\/p>\n
