| | Chord (music) - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article |
 | | Chords are named for how many notes they contain, more commonly for what type of intervals they are constructed from, and by the root note and bass note. |
 | | Chords are also distinguished and notated by the scale degree, pitch, or note of their root and bass, although there are many different conventions for indicating the quality of the chord, and the inversion of the chord (determined by which note of the chord serves as the bass note); see Inverted Triads below). |
 | | A minor chord, such as the triad on D, has a smaller interval from root to third called a minor third, and the chord is D minor. |
