Hey Friend,
Let's look at the various triads you have available to you for G major chords.
The first five give you the shapes from the CAGED system. We've also got good representation from each inversion. Four of the chords are root inversions with the note order of 1 3 5, three are first inversion (note order 3 5 1) and four are second inversion chords (note order 5 1 3).
Remember, the "/" in a chord name tells you what the root note you're playing is. If there's no slash, the root note is the same as the named chord. It also gives you the indication of what type of inversion you have.
Here they are again for G major:
Root inversion: 1 3 5 = G B D First Inversion: 3 5 1 = B D G Second Inversion: 5 1 3 = D G B
These inversions are based on the triad - only three notes. Something to keep in mind is that if the root note is placed in front of that triad, meaning you're going to play the root note first, then the chord chart isn't going to show a "/". It's going to assume the root note is the first note in the chord. Just something to be aware of as you study the inversions.
There are a lot of options for chords to play. I know they're all over the place on the neck, and I was thinking perhaps I should create a tab that puts them in an order where you can gradually move up the neck. Maybe set them up in small groupings based on where they land.
Gotta skate... talk to you tomorrow.
Peace~
