Ok, to start with I'm new on here so I haven't yet viewed the majority of lessons and maybe this is answered elsewhere.
Most references that I have seen regarding the C major show 1st fret B string, 2nd fret D string, 3rd fret A string with the other strings played open (apart from bottom E which is not played)
I have always played the chord to include the 3rd fret on the bottom E, giving me the base note as a G. I know that this is still a C major chord although it might be some kind of an inversion but the positioning seems more natural to me and the chord sounds fuller.
So can I still use this formation, will it impede my progress on the lessons on here or should I change now?
