    Dude’s a legend in his own time. The fact this guy takes the time to interact with his fans... not just the fans of his music but fans of his guitar playing as an art. That’s awesome.

    It's not actually and inversion because he is playing the root with his thumb in the bass. The lowest note is an A. The upper part of the chord is an inversion. He is correct (obviously), but it's really more of a voicing of the chord. As a task, try to find A C# E all the way up the neck. On adjacent strings (Intervals 3-3,4-3,3-4) and on strings that are not adjacent (6-5,5-6,6-6). If you do this for each of the chords, you'll start to see the whole key signature up and down the neck, and you can play the song anywhere on the guitar. Start to see more than the shapes you know. Look for what is the same and different in each chord - one to the next. Just THINK, and LISTEN. ENJOY!

    @@noahguttell1953 What do you mean the upper part of the chord is an inversion? 5xx45x is Asus2 and 5x765x is just a normal A, no? Removing the bass note makes xxx45x (not an inversion) and xx765x (normal triad), no?

    Also, C# is the relative minor to E major. That's why the E feels like "going home". They both feel like the 1. Your C# minor pentatonic is your E major pentatonic.
