Put the triad in its simplest root position form by plaing the letter names so that there is one letter between eah (for example, F-C-F-A beomes F-A-C). Add all sharps or flats from the key signature, or from earlier in the measure, to the letter names. Determine the root and quality of the triad. Determine the inversion of the triad by looking at the lowest note on the lowest staff. Example (From Minuet in G by Beethoven):.. G Major 6 a. b.. d. Notes are B-D-D-G. Simplest root position form is G-B-D. G Major Triad. B is the lowest note (in the bass lef), so the triad is in first inversion ( 6 ). e. G Major 6 6 (or G Major ).
