Hi guys,
I was playing around a bit with some chords over the C major scale and I noticed that it's possible to add a G note on top of the C major open chord (3rd fret, low E-string)and that it would probably make an C/G or you could say a C with a G bassnote.
So I looked it up on some chordsite, and it said it was indeed, but as I scrolled through the chords it also named this as a C/G: xx5557
Now that's what I don't understand: the notes in the chord are in ascending order: G, C, E, C
In my thought this would be C major chord (inverted fifth) with a high C added (it remains C major though)
I would rather call this a C/G: xx5553, because then you have a C major triad with a G above it (on the D-string)
Some other site said that the bassnote is always the deepest (lowest) note played, is this true?? Because if it is, shouldn't every inverted chord be named with a bassnote next to it, like the example above?
Any thoughts on this anyone??
