Chord Basics

A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of three or more notes that is heard as if sounding simultaneously. The most frequently encountered chords are triads. A triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in thirds. When stacked in thirds, the triad's members, from lowest pitched tone to highest, are called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.

Triad Type

There are following basic triad types:

CMY

Major Triad

A root with a major third added above and a perfect fifth will consist as a “Major Triad”.

Minor Triad

A root with a minor third added above and a perfect fifth

will consist as a “Minor Triad”. Augmented Triad Diminished Triad

A root with a major third added above and an

augmented fifth will consist as an “Augmented Triad”.

A root with a minor third added above and a diminished

fifth will consist as a “Diminished Triad”.

Chord Inversion

We define this chord its root is not in the bass (i.e., is not the lowest note) as an inversion chord. When the root is in the bass, we call the chord: root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root position, then it forms “Inversion”, we call this chord “Inversion Chord”. See the following major triad and its inverted chord.

Chord Name

The chord name contains two parts content: Chord root and Chord type.
