This is a music theory lesson all about chord inversions. Inverting chords is a simple concept; you just play notes in different octaves so the chord gets sort of "flipped around". You can use inversions to make a chord sound different (and a lot of times more interesting), but most importantly you can invert the chords in a chord progression to move smoothly and fluidly from one to another. If you aren't comfortable with basic chords yet you might want to start with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y01jIorpeA
UPDATE: If you're wondering why I used a B major chord at the end of this video, you can see the full explanation here: https://youtu.be/Q7WqKpD7w4Q
