I thought the 1 chord would be C, but does having a G in the bass note change anything?

No, it doesn't. G is included in C major chord, having some other note than root in bass makes it inversion, but it is still the same chord. [br][br]This chord progression is in the key of C major (or in A minor, if last chord was a root chord it would indicate better which one C or Am). [br]Progression harmony (in C major) is I - I - vi - IV - iii
