Chord Basics
A chord, in music, is a harmonic set of three or more notes that are heard simultaneously. The most common type of chord is a triad. A triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in thirds. When arranged this way, the triad's notes, from lowest pitched to highest, are called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.
Triad Type
The basic triad types are as follows:
Major Triad
A root with a major third added above and a perfect fifth constitutes a “Major Triad”.
Minor Triad
A root with a minor third added above and a perfect fifth
constitutes a “Minor Triad”. Augmented Triad Diminished Triad
A root with a major third added above and an augment-
ed fifth constitutes an “Augmented Triad”.
A root with a minor third added above and a diminished
fifth constitutes a “Diminished Triad”.
Chord Inversion
When a chord’s root is not the lowest note in the triad, it is called an inversion chord. When the root note is the lowest note, it is called a root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root position, it forms an “Inversion”, so it is called an “Inverted Chord”. A major triad and its inversion are illustrated on the right.
Chord Name
The chord name consists of two parts: Chord root and Chord type.
