14 1 Styles Chord Fingering How the chords are played or indicated with your left hand (in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard) is referred to as fingering. There are 2 types of fingerings as described below. Fifth 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: Third Major Triad Root Minor Triad 2 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. Augmented Triad Diminished Triad Root Position First Inversion Second Inversion 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. Chord Root Chord Type Chord Name The chord name contains two parts content: Chord root and Chord type. Single Finger Single finger type not only can detect single finger but also can detect multi finger. And the single finger makes it easily to play chords through only one, two or three keys. Including major, minor, seventh, and minor seventh chord. Refer to relevant picture on the right for details.
