The trick is to count the intervals between each note. That's how you'll differentiate each inversion. The root will always be 1-3-5, so equal intervals between each note. 1st inversion is 3-5-1 so you'll hear a bigger interval between the 2nd and 3rd notes. 2nd inversion is 5-1-3 so you'll hear a bigger interval between the 1st and 2nd notes.

Keyboard = Creativity Killer?
Do keys unlock ideas… or shut them down?

The Debate: “Keyboards limit creativity for non-pianists.” → False vs True for some.

Why It Matters: If the tool blocks you, your writing + ear training stall.

Team False or Team True for some, and why (workflow, theory, feel, intimidation)?

I think there are a few nuggets of truth to this idea. The linear and repeated layout of the piano can make it easier to feel stuck in the same patterns. Its just every single note, side by side, octave after octave with a pretty big range and sometimes I feel the whole paradox of choice thing going on. Also the culture around piano is generally more strict. This note, chord, scale, or way of playing is correct and others are incorrect. Contrast all this with something like a guitar, the culture is more rebellious in spirit instead of there being a right or wrong. The shapes change across the fretboard so playing it doesn't look or feel as repetitive. There are open strings, fretted notes, harmonics, hammer ons, pull offs, bends, slides, etc. that all sound a bit different texturally whereas with a piano you kind of only have the dynamics to play with. So I see where the question is coming from, but every instrument has its pros and cons and, as people have already pointed out, nobody is forcing you to only use one. I could never call the piano a creativity killer.

If you don't know how to play it can hinder your skills, until you learn how to play.
MOST Chaotic Band Member? 😈
Which band member is basically “oops” in human form? 😂

Guitarist, Drummer, Vocalist, or Pianist
Why it matters: Rehearsals live or die on vibes + timing.

Team A/B/C/D - drop your funniest chaos moment.

By the way, as a drummer myself I swear that whoever is creating such whirlwind -destroying part of my precious drumset- will be getting the funk out from the band as soon as he/she stops turning. Don't care if it's the bass player.

Where is a bassist option?😉

First, to answer @Petr Pistelak's question (though I think he knows my answer) a bass is a guitar. So that would be why there is no bass option. I am a rhythm guitarist myself. The most chaotic thing I've seen in a worship band is the guitarist being the head of the band and controlling the way people do things.
can someone give me a run down in vibrato? I'm having trouble mastering it.
