The fundamental guitar-chords—major and minor triads and dominant sevenths—are tertian chords, which concatenate third intervals, ... Chord diagram (guitar)
Types of triads: I ⓘ, i ⓘ, i o ⓘ, I + ⓘ In music, a triad is a set of three notes (or "pitch classes") that can be stacked vertically in thirds. [1] Triads are the most common chords in Western music. When stacked in thirds, notes produce triads. The triad's members, from lowest-pitched tone to highest, are called: [1] the root
Similarly, the diminished triad can be named minor triad flat five, or minor triad diminished fifth (m ♭ 5, m o 5, min dim5). Again, the terminology and notation used for triads affects the terminology and notation used for larger chords, formed by four or more notes.
The A minor triad is in dark blue, and the C major triad is in dark red. Interpreted as a torus, the Tonnetz has 12 nodes (pitches) and 24 triangles (triads). In musical tuning and harmony, the Tonnetz (German for 'tone net') is a conceptual lattice diagram representing tonal space first described by Leonhard Euler in 1739. [1]
A guitarist performing a C chord with G bass. In Western music theory, a chord is a group [a] of notes played together for their harmonic consonance or dissonance.The most basic type of chord is a triad, so called because it consists of three distinct notes: the root note along with intervals of a third and a fifth above the root note.

Chord diagrams for some common chords in major-thirds tuning. In music, a chord diagram (also called a fretboard diagram or fingering diagram) is a diagram indicating the fingering of a chord on fretted string instruments, showing a schematic view of the fretboard with markings for the frets that should be pressed when playing the chord. [1]
Rather than directly from the harmonic series, Sorge derived the minor chord from joining two major triads; for example the A minor triad being the confluence of the F and C major triads. [13] A–C–E = F–A–C–E–G. Given justly tuned major triads this produces a justly tuned minor triad: 10:12:15 on 8:5.
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}.
