Yes and no. For some tunes you can play mostly rootles voicings and
it will hold together for the most part. You might need to hit
a few roots here and there. Others will not hold up as well without
alot of bass notes.
Obviously if you have a bass player (or practice with Band in a Box
or a playalong this isnt a problem).
Rootless voicings are particularly apppealing to guitarists since
you are limited to 4 note chords for the most part.
4 notes without the root lets you play all the nice tension tones.
