But for musicians, the term <em>fantastic four <\/em>is used to describe the four common triad types: major, minor, augmented, and diminished.<\/p>\n<p>The use of the <em>fantastic four <\/em>to describe the four common triad types is attributed to my role-model and mentor &#8212; Jermaine Griggs, who is the founder of this site.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of this lesson is to show you how these fantastic four are classified according to tonality. But right before we go into all that, let&#8217;s take a look at these four chord types.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Fantastic Four<\/h2>\n<p>A triad is a collection of three related notes (agreeable or not) which may be played or heard together. One of the most common triads in tonal music is the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which consists of the following notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;which are related by the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC, E, and G, are the first, third, and fifth tones of the C major scale.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Beyond The Major Triad Are Three Other Triad Qualities&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are three other triad types and they are described using the following adjectives: minor, diminished, and augmented. Altogether with the major triad, there are four triad qualities:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Major<\/p>\n<p>Minor<\/p>\n<p>Augmented<\/p>\n<p>Diminished<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;Check Them Out&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC augmented triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,Gb,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThese four main triad types are the fantastic four every musician should know.<\/p>\n<p>In a subsequent lesson, I&#8217;ll be showing you how to master these triads. But for the moment,let&#8217;s focus on how these triads are classified according to tonality.<\/p>\n<h2>The Classification Of Triads According To Tonality<\/h2>\n<p>There are two tonality types: the major and minor tonalities. The classification of triads according to tonality means we&#8217;re basically classifying all the four triad types into two broad categories:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Major triads<\/p>\n<p>Minor triads<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;Please Give Me Your Undivided Attention&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What determines whether a triad is major or minor is the interval between its first and third tone. When the interval between the first and third tone of a triad is:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1. a major third, then the triad is a major triad.<\/p>\n<p>2. a minor third, then the triad is a minor triad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s go ahead and see how this works.<\/p>\n<h3>The Major Triad<\/h3>\n<p>The interval between the first and third tone of the major triad determines whether it&#8217;s a major or minor triad. Using the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the interval between the first and third tones can be determined. From C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a major third interval, therefore, C, E, and G is a major triad.<\/p>\n<h3>The Minor Triad<\/h3>\n<p>Using the C minor triad as a reference:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the interval between the first and third tones (which are C and Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a minor third interval, therefore, C, Eb, and G is a minor triad.<\/p>\n<h3>The Augmented Triad<\/h3>\n<p>The interval between the first and third tone of the augmented triad determines whether it&#8217;s a major or minor triad. Using the C augmented triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the interval between the first and third tones can be determined. From C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a major third interval, therefore, C, E, and G# (the C augmented triad) is a major triad.<\/p>\n<h3>The Diminished Triad<\/h3>\n<p>Using the C diminished triad as a reference:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,Gb,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the interval between the first and third tones (which are C and Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a minor third interval, therefore, C, Eb, and Gb (the C diminished triad) is a minor triad.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Major and augmented chords are basically classified as major chords while minor and diminished chords are minor chords.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget that the quality of a chord is determined by the distance between the first and third tone.<\/p>\n<p>The C major and C augmented triad:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC augmented triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;share the same root and third (C-E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;while the C minor and diminished triad:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,Gb,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;have the same root and third (C-Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,,&amp;color=3300FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSee you in the next lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about the classification of triads according to tonality in this lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":22355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,416,350,9],"tags":[2145,17,1614,2747,185,191],"class_list":["post-19113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chords-progressions","category-experienced-players","category-music-etc","category-piano","tag-augmented-triads","tag-basic-songs","tag-diminished-triads","tag-fantastic-four","tag-major-triads","tag-minor-triads","post-wrapper","thrv_wrapper"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Here&#039;s How &quot;The Fantastic Four&quot;
