It will forever haunt me that in this video I misremembered one bit of terminology - the chord voicings begin with "root position" before moving onto "first inversion" and so on. But let this be a lesson about something bigger, which is that understanding music - how it works and how you can use these tools to express yourself - is a separate and more important thing than knowing all the technical terms. I never thought about the term "root position" after I stopped taking piano lessons as a teenager, but I've known and used root position chords constantly since then. The terminology is only occasionally important when you need to communicate about something specific. Like in a music theory lesson. 😅
