Although the root note is not always the lowest-sounding note in a chord, in a root position chord, the root is the lowest sounding note.<\/p>\n<p>In the root position of the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;C is the root note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;because it is the lowest tone and also considering the fact that the major triad is named after C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and not E or G which are also the other tones of the triad.<\/p>\n<h3>The Use Of The Root Note On The Left Hand<\/h3>\n<p>The root note is arguably the most important tone in a chord, therefore, it is usually played on the left hand to provide a melodic bottom to right hand chords.<\/p>\n<p>The C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is accompanied (most of the time) on the left hand with the root note (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThis is the rationale behind playing the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,C,E,G,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;with C on the left hand and playing any chord with its root note on the left hand in other cases.<\/p>\n<h3>Going Beyond The Root Note On The Left Hand<\/h3>\n<p>It sounds boring and empty to play the root note on the left hand, although most beginners are okay with this. However, beyond the left hand lies the 5-7-10 principle and you&#8217;ll be learning about it shortly.<\/p>\n<p>With the 5-7-10 principle, you&#8217;ll never have a boring left hand again.<\/p>\n<h2>Introducing The 5<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the root note, you can add the 5th tone, which is usually a <strong>perfect fifth<\/strong> above the root note. Think of the fifth as the fifth scale tone from the root note.<\/p>\n<p>So, given D as the root note:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;let&#8217;s count five scale tones:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>D<\/strong> (1) <strong>E<\/strong> (2) <strong>F<\/strong> (3) <strong>G<\/strong> (4) <strong>A<\/strong> (5)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The corresponding fifth for the D root note in the key of C major is A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAltogether, &#8220;D-A&#8221; is a fifth:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,A,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;sounds <em>fuller<\/em> with the fifth (&#8220;D-A&#8221;) on the left hand:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,A,D,F,A,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;compared to when it&#8217;s played with just a root note.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here Are All The Fifths In The Key Of C Major&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>1st tone (C-G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,G,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n2nd tone (D-A):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,A,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n3rd tone (E-B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=E,B,,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n4th tone (F-C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=F,C,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n5th tone (G-D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,D,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n6th tone (A-E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=A,E,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n7th tone (B-F):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=B,F,,&amp;color=6666FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Recommendation:<\/strong> Feel free to derive fifths in other keys too.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s Talk About The 7&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Another option you can add to the root note is the 7th tone, which is usually a <strong>major seventh\u00a0<\/strong>or a\u00a0<strong>minor seventh<\/strong> above the root note.
