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.
