Well than. Thankyou both for your replies, and like it was said, a technical response came indeed. So basicly, whatever the root of the chord being played is, make sure that, that root note is the LOWEST sounding note, which if playing a Cmaj it should be the C yes? and an Fmaj an F?Well what about in terms of inverted chords. I know on the piano you invert your chords so sure you are playing the same chord on the same octave but it is inverted so it sounds different. Playing the notes in a different order.

For example:
Low E string:3rd fret is a G
A string: 3rd fret is a C
D string:2nd fret is a E

So now it is no longer in the order of C,E,G. It has from LOWEST sounding become, G,C,E. Inverted. The lowest sounding note has now become a G. So where would that leave us? or is this a no no? always keep the C first?

I am just curious because I like to excercise whatever I have learned through alot of improv. In doing so I need to know my theoretical limitations are. Thankou both for your reply.
