Which courses cover inversions?
I wish he would, I have a hard time tolerating Bob's teaching style, and I own that courseIt would be a small course (sorry, I thought about little chords, pardon the pun)
Two approaches to inversions. Learn the shapes or learn to build chords on the fretboard.
If you just want to learn the shapes it is pretty easy to learn in groups of 3 strings. The B string, as usual , keeps it from being extremely simple.
If you want to learn to build chords then learning the notes on the fretboard will be handy. And learning interval relationships is even handier. Theory helps too.
Griff used to sell a course by Bob Murnahan called "Triad Power: Blues edition" but it is no longer in his course catalog (that I can see). He taught the shapes for the triads and how to use them rhythmically and in solos, but only the triads. Adding the 7ths were an exercise you'd do for yourself. Again not difficult but requires some modicum of effort.
Since Bob and his courses seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth Griff might want to take your suggestion and make a course or a seminar. Inversions sound mysterious but on the guitar it just means playing the same chord tones on different parts of the fretboard rotating which chord tone is the lowest note. It sounds harder than it is. But like everything music related if you are not versed in the fundamentals everything is mysterious.

I love Bob's style. His business model, not so muchI wish he would, I have a hard time tolerating Bob's teaching style, and I own that course
That slow dry monotone delivery just puts me to sleepI love Bob's style. His business model, not so much
I have all his courses, attended his webinars back in 2012 and 2013 and I took email lessons from Bob for a year after buying his Pentatonic Power ebook.
But, not everyone's teaching style is suited to all students, I understand that.

Honestly, I haven't talked to Bob in several months. I took that course out of the course catalog because I can't include it with the AAP and I only have a digital version. That being said, if you purchase it, the transaction should go through and you should get access to the course. No one has bought it in forever, so if there's a problem let me know.Hmmm.......

I can put it in my Shopping Cart and it will show up on Griff's site, but I'm not willing to see what would happen if I tried to pay for it.
