Ok so here's a cycle of chords... I'm always tempted to play these changes in succession for some reason that I can't figure out theoretically. It's like they 'want' to follow each other. I picked the key of C as the starting point for simplicity's sake. All the chords are major, the inversions are beside them [(1) = 1st inv. etc...] Pay attention to the inversions and which note you're playing in the bass.
C
Ab - (1)
F - (2)
Bb - (1)
Ab - (2)
C# - (1)
Bb - (2)
Eb - (1)
C# - (2)
F# (1)
Eb (2)
Ab (1)
:|| back to first F - (2)
