Guitar is notated one octave higher than it actually sounds. This is done so that we don't have to deal with a lot of ledger lines in notation and only deal with the Treble clef. If that wasn't done, the only notes that would be on the Treble Clef staff would be the five notes from middle C up to the first E, the rest would have to be notated below that, using ledger lines. That would get ugly and hard to read.

When generating a Chord Solo, I guess sometimes we have to think just like the live chording guitarist must -- and try to avoid going down very low.

One thing you can do about that to force low notes is to emulate what the savvy live guitarist does, that is to simply play any necessary lower notes as single notes. With Freeze Tracks available in 2010, you could Freeze that track and then Edit out the other notes, leaving just the one desired note in each of those muddy chords.
