Solo Jazz Guitar Masterclass
How to Invert ANY Voicing on the Guitar
About this masterclass
Jake Reichbart demonstrates a precise, repeatable system for inverting any voicing on the guitar — not just textbook chords. A stack of fourths like E–A–D–G might be a C6/9 against one root and an Fmaj13 or A7sus against another, but the same inversion method applies to any group of notes regardless of what you call it.
What's covered
- Jake's core principle: write the chord tones as an ascending closed-position list, then move each string to the next note on the list, cycling back to the bottom
- Inverting horizontally and vertically — up the neck and across string sets
- Closed-voicing triads, then open-voicing triads, with all examples in C
- Four-note drop chords, quartal voicings, and beyond
- Why it matters: four ways to express any voicing you like, so you never repeat the same grip over and over
Inversions also rotate each chord tone to the top of the voicing — with a four-note chord you instantly cover more than half the notes of a seven-note scale, which makes this a must-have skill for chord melody playing.

Reviews & Ratings
"Not worth the price of admission"
If you know what a chord inversion is, you don’t need this video. I thought that it would provide ‘something else’ other than explaining how to invert chords and showing some examples, but I was wrong. I have other Jake’s masterclasses and really love them, but this one… I feel stupid for having paid 20 bucks for it. Probably it’s my bad for not having understood who this video was aimed for, because it does exactly what its title says, but nothing else.
