Very helpful - as with many of your videos. Also useful is to know how to specify inversions in chord notation - used in some systems. C/E is a representation of Ib in C major, while C/G is Ic in C major. Cm/Eb is Ib in C minor. F/A is IVb in C major, while Fm/Ab is IVb in C minor (harmonic), and F/C is IVc in C major. V (Va) is just G, while Vb is G/B and Vc is G/D.
II (or IIa - sometimes written ii in lowercase - to show minor) is Dm, IIb is Dm/F. VI (vi to show minor) is Am. Trickiest is VIIb - needs more thought. I think it's Bdim/D or sometimes shown as a chord Bo/D. All of these are assuming C as the tonic.

Confused: In example #2, you're using the first inversion for chord V, though it's not labeled that. Other times also, you're using the inversion chords on the ones that aren't labeled as such. Why? If the freedom is always there to use other inversions instead of the exact notation, why use labels at all? Thanks!

Thank you for the great lesson! Your chart really helps me think about what's available - all the different sonic possibilities! And thank you for the explanation between the US and UK systems but in this case, the UK system of letters is easier to remember! Thank you again!

Extremely good lesson, didnt know inversions can influence the sound of a progression and add so much. Rather than just using the other diatonic chords, borrowed chords, secondary dominants and tritone subs. Really opens up the possibilities...

great stuff, thanks a lot for that. ideas for future parts: including the use of the secondary chords, creating progressions beyond 3 or 4 chords, what are diminished and augmented triads/chords actually good for? .... could be an awesome series!

Very informative video. Although all the chords you discussed as chord progressions are diatonic. Could you perhaps do a video like this showing possible chord progressions involving chromatic harmony?

How do I get that keyboard reflected on screen....what is the technique or software used...??
Need for my online lessons..
Awaiting your valuable inputs Gareth sir...

Another great video. It's interesting that the American system for describing inversions is apparently built from figured bass ! Thanks for the film !

What about following I with iiic?
Also, the third progression, I - IVb - V is what's used in La Bamba, if I'm not mistaken.

How you can mark borrowed chords from paraller keys example from minor to major if b on the corner means second inversion
