Some Major chord examples. | Description:
The major chord is a triad (a three-note chord). From the root you go up a major third, and then a minor third up to the fifth. I is the major third up from the root that makes it a major chord. The chord has the notes - counted from the root - 1 - 3 - 5. In C-major that is C - E - G. The chord might be inverted, meaning that we change the order of the notes. In first inversion we play the notes 3 - 5 - 1, or E - G - C if we stick to C-major. The second inversion is 5 - 1 - 3, or G - C - E in C-major.
