I had those grips memorized in 1.3 seconds, the time it took to realize that those are the 3 chords used in Three Little Birds :rofl:

Is it correct to call the first, second and third grips shown on the video 1st inversion (351) 2nd inversion (513) and root (135) triads?

@Phoenix97 Yes that’s exactly what they are but it is more common to refer to them as the chord shape the are derived from.

Grip 1: Using fingers 1 & 3 I have no problems, but I have trouble with the mini barre when I use fingers 1 & 2.
Any practice advice to get the mini barre working with fingers 1 & 2?

So (just making sure) the 3 shapes are moveable shape that can be played anywhere on the neck? (as its on the 3 lower strings of course)

Whenever you play something that doesn’t involve open strings, then it is moveable to anywhere on the neck. By “moveable”, I mean you can move the grip up or down the fretboard, keeping the same strings fretted, of course.
