Did you read that at a website?

From searching ambiguous chords "An interval or chord is said to be harmonically ambiguous when it does not imply a clear root.........."

Go back and look at the guitar chord pictures I posted earlier in this thread and you will see two examples of where a guitar only chord can have different names based on what note in the guitar chord the guitarist calls the bass note. That note does not have to be the lowest note in the chord. This is because there is no one playing the bass, whether it is a bass guitar, piano, tuba, etc. In the guitar only situation the key signature and the chords prior and after would determine the chord name.
