all you have to do is put a G note inthe bass C/G or the guitar can play C while the bass is playing a G. C chord spells C,E,G what we are doing is putting a G or the 3rd in the bass. when playing solo it makes all the difference between sounding just like the song or very close. In the 1st position all you have to do is instead of playing the C note on the 5th string 3rd fret simply move your finger to the 6th string 3rd fret G note making it easy to muff the 5 the string. Sounds cool yes. This pratice is called the 2nd inversion, OR putting the 3rd note of the chord in the bass. OOPS. I just read my advise and I can't tell you how sorry I am for giving the wrong advice I have since edited and made it right. schamage is also rite on and he types better than I do, listen to him.There's really nothin to all u gotta do is do it. I promise to proof read before I reply. Try struming that C chord and alternate playing a C/ G in the bass. It's country but fun. :p
