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
For example, the cycle of thirds is inherently important to chord construction, as most triads are built on the cycle of thirds. [2] Because the circle of thirds is based on the order of thirds in a scale, rather than its ascending scale degrees, the scale degrees of the cycle are in the following order: 1-3-5-7-2-4-6. In the key of C, the ...

Therefore, a seven-note diatonic scale allows seven basic diatonic triads, each degree of the scale becoming the root of its own chord. [1] A chord built upon the note E is an E chord of some type (major, minor, diminished, etc.) Chords in a progression may also have more than three notes, such as in the case of a seventh chord (V 7 is ...
Any tone contained in two successive chords is a common tone. Chords written upon two consecutive degrees of the [diatonic] scale can have no tones in common. All other chords [in the diatonic scale] have common tones. Common tones are also called connecting tones, and in part-writing, are to be retained in the same voice.
The ♭ VII–I cadence with ♭ VII substituting for V is common, as well as ♭ II–I, ♭ III–I, and ♭ VI–I. [11] In popular music, the major triads on the lowered third (♭ III), sixth (♭ VI) and seventh (♭ VII) scale degrees are common. Borrowed chords have typical inversions or common positions, for example ii o 6 and ii ø 6
