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 Minor Triad Augmented Triad Diminished 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 perfect fifth will consist as a Minor 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. Third Major Triad Diminished Triad Fifth Root Minor Triad Augmented 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. Root Position First Inversion Second Inversion Chord Name The chord name contains two parts content: Chord root and Chord type.
