but what is confusing me is that i play some piano and on the piano a C 1st inversion chord is still a C chord and the bass note is E

[br]so insted of C E G it becomes EGC

does this not work on guitar ??? do chords on the guitar always have to start on note #1 and there are no inversions

[p]Good question! You can play inversions on guitar. But that is a slightly more advanced topic. These tutorials cover how to play different voicings on the guitar.
