Hi,
When referring to inversions, one is usually referring to a single instrument Actually it is commonplace in styles such as funky for a guitarist to play inverted chords including only the 4 treble strings and let the bassist complement the harmony. Whether the bassist will "complete" the chord again, is totally up to him and his style. There is no rule here. -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Music should always sound good first in my opinion whether the theory behind it is complex or simple. Yes, this is very nicely said. In general when you play inverted chords, it doesn't matter if you are going to complement the root on another instrument. What does matter is the harmony flow, and top notes of the chords. The audience will often hear top notes the best, so with inverted chords you can make a top melody while playing all kind of inverted chords. Even if you leave one or even two notes out of the chord, it can be useful, cause you leave the audience to "fill" the remaining notes. This is what makes them more involved in the listening process. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
