| | Chord (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The most commonly used chords in Western music, triads are the basis of diatonic harmony, and are tertian trichords. | | | 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. | | | In music and music theory, a chord (from the Middle English cord, short for accord) is three or more different notes or pitches sounding simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, over a period of time. |

| | chord names |
| | The chords are defined in terms of the intervals between the notes which they contain – see intervals. | | | Such notation is also common on big band parts (for all instruments) where the instrumentalist is expected to improvise a solo fitting with the harmonies of the piece. | | | In fact this chord occurs very commonly, in a wide variety of musical styles, in the key of F major, in which it is the 7th chord built on the dominant, ie the 5th degree of the scale, of F.] |

| | The minor 7th chord isn't used much in rock music (although see Gallows Pole, by Led Zeppelin, for an interesting example of it) but it is very common in jazz music. | | | The single most widely used bass line in recorded music is based on it: if you have ever listened to any kind of blues music, you've heard this line somewhere. | | | Because of its simplicity and power, it's one of the most heavily used ideas for bass lines in all of popular music; besides country music, bluegrass music, some folk music, and occasional bits of rock and jazz use it as well. |

| | Root (chord) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This feeling of centeredness is readily aurally perceivable for the culturally trained (those who grew up with European music) and its verbal labelling is a basic skill for the musically trained. | | | In music the root (basse fondamentale) of a chord is the note or pitch upon which that chord is perceived or labelled as being built or hierarchically centered upon. | | | Since Rameau, the analysis and theory of tonal music usually treats the roots as the defining feature of chords and much information can be gained from a progression of roots even if chord types are unknown. |

| | and |
| | Due to interval inversion, the root motion could also be classified as up a sixth. | | | Let's try another example: a IV chord in first inversion going to V. | | | The root of the second chord (a G major triad) is G. Therefore, the root motion of these two chords is up a second or down a seventh. |
