How are the different major and minor chords played?

It depends on what you mean exactly. If you are referring to what notes are included in the chord, it depends on the exact chord designation. I major triad consists of the first, third, and fifth notes of the major scale. A minor triad consists of the first, third, and fifth notes of the minor scale. There are many variations of each chord however. If you mean how do you play a particular instrument, it depends on the instrument.
