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:
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.
