  2. Common chord (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_chord_(music)

    For example, G major and D major have 4 chords in common: G, Bm, D, Em. This can be easily determined by a chart similar to the one below, which compares chord qualities. The I chord in G major—a G major chord—is also the IV chord in D major, so I in G major and IV in D major are aligned on the chart.

  3. Major chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_chord

    A major triad has a major third (M3) on the bottom, a minor third (m3) on top, and a perfect fifth (P5) between the outer notes. In harmonic analysis and on lead sheets, a C major chord can be notated as C, CM, CΔ, or Cmaj. A major triad is represented by the integer notation {0, 4, 7}.

  4. Neapolitan scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_scale

    The 4th mode of the Neapolitan major, also known as the Lydian Dominant ♭ 6 scale, is an excellent choice for the 9 ♯ 11 ♭ 13 chord. Said mode contains all the alterations plus the ♮ 5. A whole tone scale is often used but that mode tends to be minus the ♮ 5 that the Lydian Minor contains.

  5. Chord notation - Wikipedia

    For instance, the notation C/E bass indicates a C major triad in first inversion i.e. a C major triad with an E in the bass. Likewise the notation C/G bass indicates that a C major chord with a G in the bass (second inversion). See figured bass for alternate method of notating specific notes in the bass.

  6. Overtones tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtones_tuning

    The open-string notes form a C major chord, which is the triad (C,E,G) having the root note C, the major third (C,E), and the perfect fifth (C,G). When the guitar is strummed without fretting even one string, a C-major chord is sounded. By barring all of the strings for one fret (from one to eleven), one finger suffices to fret the other eleven ...

  7. Third (chord) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_(chord)

    Two added chords with mixed thirds, thirds separated by octave [1] Chord on left Right. Conventionally, the third is third in importance to the root and fifth, with the third in all primary triads (I, IV, V and i, iv, v) being either major or minor. In jazz chords and theory, the third is required due to it determining chord quality.

  9. Factor (chord) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_(chord)

    The chord factor called the "fifth" (pitch name "G") is represented in voice 2 (shown in red). The chord factor that is in the bass determines the inversion of the chord. For example, if the third is in the bass it is a first inversion chord (figured bass: 6 3) while if the seventh is in the bass the chord is in third inversion (4 2). The ...
