Chord voicing & inversions
Chords don't always have to be played in "closed" position as we've seen until now. They can be played differently to obtain different sonorities by spreading the voicings around. Similarly, a chord inversion allows you to modify the sound of chord by turning the group of notes in the chord upside down.
