When you take a root (C) note from a basic triad (C, E, G) and place it an octave higher, it's considered a first inversion. From there, take the 3rd (E) and place it an octave higher and you'll get a second inversion. From there, take the 5th (G) and place it an octave higher and you'll end up with the same chord you started with. Make sense?

In the video, I don't mention that because I'm trying to simplify the concept.

VERY IMPORTANT: In this video I talk about intervals. I am NOT referring to scale degrees. Scale degrees is a VERY different topic.
