About Chords
The name of a chord expresses the fundamental tone of the chord (called the "root")
along with symbols that indicate the chord type.

"CM7" describes a major seventh chord with C (do) as the root.
The root is shown using letters of the alphabet, and has the following relationship to
the keys on the keyboard.
