	Chord
		The most commonly used chords in western music, triads are the basis of diatonic harmony, and are composed of three notes: a root note, a note which is an interval of a third above the root, and a note which is an interval of a fifth above the root.
		The triad formed using the C note as the root would consist of C (the root note of the scale), E (the third note of the scale) and G (the fifth).
		In Musicology, triads are named using the Roman numerals for the scale degree of the root note in the key of the moment.

		In a Major triad the interval of the lower third is a Major 3rd and the interval of the upper third is a Minor 3rd.
		In a Minor triad the interval of the lower third is a Minor 3rd and the interval of the upper third is a Major 3rd.
		The augmented triad is found in the harmonic minor and melodic minor scales as the triad rooted on the third note of those scales.

	Major and Minor Triads (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		On a piano keyboard this triad appears to contain two major thirds and a minor sixth - all of which are consonant, but in actuality the interval between the top and bottom tones is not the consonant minor sixth but the dissonant augmented fifth.
		The augmented fifth and the minor sixth may be represented by the same number of semitones in 12-tone equal temperament, but this does not mean that the aural effect of these two intervals is the same.
		The intervals of a minor triad from its fifth downwards are a perfect fifth and a major third.

		For example in the key of C major, any triad with C as its root is named I. A triad beginning on a E (the third note of the scale of C major) would be named III, one based on A would be VI and so on.
		If the chord is an inversion, a lower case letter is written after the roman numeral: b for a first inversion, c for a second inversion and d for a third inversion.
		The Neapolitan sixth is the first inversion of a major triad built on the flattened supertonic (second degree of the scale) - a Neapolitan sixth in C major, therefore, consists of the notes D flat, F and A flat.

	Triads, Part 2
		In this triad, the bottom note is the root (1), the middle note is the 3rd, and the top note is the 5th.
		A diminished triad is different from a minor triad by the fact that a diminished chord has an outer interval of a diminished 5th: the minor triad has a perfect 5th.
		An augmented triad consists of an augmented 5th as an outer interval, and a major 3rd as a bottom interval.

		For example, the A minor triad consists of A, C, and E. You may have noticed that the general rule for major and minor triads is that you use the first, third, and fifth degrees of the major/minor scale (major for the major triad, minor for the minor triad).
		Augmented triads are created with the root, the major third above the root, and the augmented fifth above the root.
		Thus, a C major triad in first inversion is E, G, and C. Second Inversion is when the fifth is “moved” from the top to the bottom of the triad so that the chord starts on the fifth degree.

	Augmented chord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In twelve tone equal tempered tuning, an augmented chord has 4 semitones between the third and fifth, 4 between the root and third, and 8 between the root and fifth.
		The augmented chord is considered dissonant, or unstable, and lacks tonal center or drive.
		It symmetrically divides the octave and is ambiguous as to root because an augmented chord built from any note of an augmented chord produces that same chord.

	Tonality and Harmony: Chord Types
		In the minor, the supertonic triad is diminished and thus unstable because it contains a tritone between the root and the 5th; therefore, it often occurs in first inversion with the bass note doubled.
		A diminished triad often appears in first inversion because of the unstable tritone between the root and the 5th in root position.
		The augmented 6th chords are a type of chromatically altered chords like the secondary dominant, secondary diminished 7th, and the Neapolitan 6th chords.

	Music 70: Triad definitions
		Triads are, as the name implies, collections of notes that include three different pitch classes.
		The triads in common use in tonal music are called diatonic, meaning that they can be derived from the diatonic (major or minor) scales.
		These triads are divided into four types according to their arrangement of major and minor thirds.

		Moreover, characters placed after the triad name tend merely to qualify that tertial triad, either in terms of notes added to it or by denoting chromatic alteration of any degree within the chord except for the root and its third.
		Augmented and diminished triads are represented similarly (e.g.
		Although simple augmented and diminished triads are encoded + or aug and dim respectively, the symbol for altered fifths (+ and —5 or $5) in chords of the seventh, ninth, eleventh and thirteenth is always placed last after all other relevant information (e.g.

		Thus, a C augmented triad would be formed by changing the G in a C major triad to a G#.
		In the case of a diminished triad, the third added can either be a minor third, which creates a fully diminished seventh (for example, A C Eb Gb, or Adim) or a major third, which creates a half diminished seventh (for example, B D F A, or Bm7b5).
		Adding a major third to an augmented triad would create a seventh chord in name only, since added note is a duplicate an octave higher of the root (lowest note) of the chord.

		These qualities are determined by the type of intervals contained in the triad, specifically the intervals between the root and the fifth, and the root and the third.
		Once the triad is in root position, then write down the note name of the root note.
		For Minor triads, we write the name of the triad root with a lowercase letter, followed by a lowercase "m." Some people today just use a lowercase letter, but I prefer to add the lowercase "m" because it avoids confusion.

		Like triads, the names of other notes of the seventh are derived from their interval above the root: the third and the fifth and the seventh.
		Seventh chords built upon augmented triads are extremely rare, as are minor triads with a major seventh and major or minor triads with diminished sevenths.
		In this method, the roman numeral is upper case for major (and augmented chords), lower case for minor, and lower case plus the small superscript "o" for diminished triads.

	chordalteration
		A triad can be extended to its 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th (which together contain all the notes of the scale from which the chord pitches are chosen.) Alterations of chord pitches thus imply new, altered scales by which the tension of the music is increased.
		, by raising the 9th, an augmented triad results beginning on the 5th of the chord, G. Two different major triads are heard in no. 4.The original C triad is heard along with a B Major triad as the 9th and 11th are both raised.
		Nonetheless, it appears that, by stacking an additional major or augmented triad quality onto the original tonic, the tension level increases but the C major tonic function can still be heard.

	Lesson- 'What Chord Names Mean'
		Since the result is basically a dominant-seventh chord (because of the major third in the triad and the minor seventh on top) with an augmented fifth, the chord is called an augmented-seventh chord.
		It's a diminished triad with a diminished-seventh interval added to it (a diminished seventh is a minor seventh that’s been made one half step smaller).
		So it makes a certain kind of sense: a maj7 chord is a major triad plus a major-seventh interval, a m7 chord is a minor triad plus a minor-seventh interval, and a dim7 chord is a diminished triad plus a diminished seventh.

		Triads are built on thirds; you won't have DGbA because Gb is not a third away from D, it is a diminished fourth.
		Next, memorize the quality of the triad: CEG is major, DFA is minor, EGB is minor, etc. These triads are the natural triads in the key of C. Having this information memorized is just one more step to eliminating a lot of on-the-spot thinking.
		You'll notice that triads I, IV, and V are major; ii, iii, and vi are minor; and vii° is the only diminished triad.

		A triad is a three-note chord whose notes can be placed in consecutive major or minor thirds.
		To spell out the notes of all four triad types in all keys, you must know the notes of the major scale in all keys.
