The first third above the root (the lowest note in a chord) determines the chord quality (major or minor). How we organize these thirds will determine whether a triad (and in turn, a chord) is major or minor. These notes are separated by intervals: either major or minor thirds. In part one of this series on chords, we will start with the basics: major triads and minor triads.Ī triad can be thought of as the simplest type of a chord it is simply a set of three notes stacked on top of one another. Chords are some of the building blocks of harmony, and they make up pretty much every song you’ll ever hear or play. Any musician comes across chords whether they realize it or not.
