Overview
Smart Inversions turns an often-overlooked piece of music theory into a game: connecting chords using the most efficient inversion, keeping hand movement minimal while common tones stay in place. Each round presents a chord change and challenges you to find the smoothest path between the two, building an intuitive feel for inversions rather than just memorizing rules.
Who it's for
Pianists and keyboard players across pop, jazz, and classical styles — including band members, composers, singer-songwriters, and producers who want their playing to sound more connected.
Key takeaways
- How to choose the smoothest inversion between any two chords
- Why minimal movement and shared common tones make transitions sound smoother
- A gamified way to build inversion skills that stick
Free to play, and useful whether you're working out band parts, arranging, or performing solo.
