|C Major Chord#Harmonic Theory: Tonality and the I Chord|Theory}}
Usually, the root note of the chord is also the lowest-pitched note, or '''bass note'''. This gives a strong harmonic foundation where the intervals created by the other notes can be clearly heard and felt. However, the third or fifth can also be the bass note. This is called an '''inversion'''. Inversions are numbered by the bass note's relation to the root note in the chord.
