 A simpler and shorter explanation of inversion is - starting with a root position chord (1357), raise the root one octave. This produces the first inversion. Continue this process of raising the lowest note one octave and you produce the second and third inversions of the chord. All inversions are voicings but not all voicings are inversions.     |

This is how to derive inversions in closed position, i.e. with everything within one octave. Of course, root positions and inversions don't have to be (and often aren't) in closed position, in which case this method often will not work. But is often how it is taught in the beginning, to keep things easier for the learner - but it has limited application in practice. Peace, Kevin
