What notes are in an a chourd?

A basic chord, a triad, is made up of the root note, the third, and the fifth. The root note is the naming note for the chord. For example, the C major chords root is C. Then the third of that chord would be three notes up to E starting with C(C - D- E). The fifth is the G, which is five notes up from C (C-D-E-F-G). Any chords that are formed naturally by the notes of the key that it is in, are called diatonic chords. C major is a diatonic chord in the key of C.


What are major and minor piano chords?

A chord is three musical notes played together. Major and minor chords are just different types of chords. Major chords tend to have a happy feel to them, while minor chords are sadder and more introspective. You can make major chords by selecting a root note, (let's say C for now) counting four keys (or half-steps) away from the C, which is an E, and then count seven half-steps from the C, to get a G. Making minor chords is exactly the same as making major chords; just count three half-steps away from the C the first time to get Eb/D#. So on a piano, C major is C,E,G, and C minor is C,Eb,G. Once you know all the notes to a chord, you can rearrange them and get different sounds. The possibilities are nearly endless. It can seem daunting at first, but you'll get it.


What is the tonic note in the g chord?

Chords don't have "tonic notes". Scales do. The tonic note of the G major scale is G (in fact, the tonic note of the X major/minor scale will always be X). Chords do have roots, but that's equally boring: the root of the G major chord is G.

What is a Chord on Piano?

A chord is formed when multiple pitches (notes on a musical instrument) are placed together on a staff (a sheet of music). Chords come in a lot of different varieties, including (but not limited to): Major chords, minor chords, diminished chords, augmented chords, seventh chords, and Neapolitan chords. To develop a chord, one simply takes two or more notes from the staff and (in the case of piano or string instruments) plays them simultaneously. For instance: C-E-G is a C Major triad (triad is just a fancy term for a chord with three notes). F-A-C is an F Major triad. When you listen to music, the harmony parts behind the leading melody are generally chords. Rock groups like "Queen" are notorious for having a lot of harmonized parts in their music. Every song from every genre has a chord progression - meaning one chord follows the next in a pattern. Rock is generally I-IV-V-I (Roman Numerals denote the type of chord used) used over and over.
