| Nov 9, 2023 at 0:32 | comment | added | piiperi Reinstate Monica | Ah! I realized what "open position" means here, it's basically a voicing that's wider than an octave, and not a stack of thirds or a closed voicing inversion. An example would be C-G-E, which has a fifth and a sixth. But my answer would be the same: learn to play by ear, and then the identification question becomes "what would I have to play to reproduce the sound I'm hearing." Is it a minor or major chord, what's the bass note and what's the highest note. Stuff you'll learn when you play full songs by ear. | |
