Therefore, it is important for triads to be mastered before seventh and extended chords are to be considered.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s discuss briefly on each of these triads.<\/p>\n<h3>The First &#8211; The Major Triad<\/h3>\n<p>The major triad is the 1-chord in the major key and is also the 4-chord and 5-chord. In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the 1-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;4-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,C,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and 5-chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,B,D,&amp;color=33CC33&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are all major triads.<\/p>\n<p>If three out of the seven unique chords in every key are major triads, then major triads should be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<h3>The Second &#8211; The Minor Triad<\/h3>\n<p>The minor triad is the 6-chord in the major key and is also the 2-chord and 3-chord.
