→Intro to Chords
''Notice a triad is basically every other note from the root in the common 7-note scales.'' A C major triad is (C E G). We skip the D and F:
* <span style="font-size:1.2em">'''C''' </span> D <span style="font-size:1.2em">'''E''' </span> F <span style="font-size:1.2em">'''G'''</span>
This is helpful to quickly get the notes for a particular chord in the key of C Major. As we learn more about other keys and get more accustomed to the intervalic relationship between each pair of notes in the chromatic scale, we will be able to derive the member notes for any particular chord quickly.
