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:
Major Triad A root with a major third added above and a
perfect fifth will consist as a Major Triad.
A root with a minor third added above and a
Minor Triad
perfect fifth will consist as a Minor Triad.
A root with a major third added above and an
Augmented
augmented fifth will consist as an Augmented
Triad
Triad.
A root with a minor third added above and a
Diminished
diminished fifth will consist as a Diminished
Triad
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.
