Musically what chord is comprised of the notes C A and E?

Answer 1

Thereisn't one. the order of flats is BEADGCF, and sharps are the opposite, FCGDAEB. I remember it as BEAD GCF. You cant have a chord with a flat or sharp out of order in the key signature.

While this is true, the enharmonic equivalents of these notes, which means they sound the same, can create a chord.

F natural, B-flat (a sharp), and D-flat (c sharp), create a B-flat minor chord in second inversion.

Answer 2

I don't think this can really be called a chord, rather a discord. The notes E G and B make E minor, so if the A is the bottom note, I suppose it could be called Em/A or Eminor with an A bass note, but I doubt that it sounds good as I've never seen it written on a piece of music. Are you sure it isn't EBEGBE ? This is E minor as played in the basic position on a 6 string guitar, a very common chord.

Answer 3

That chord would be an A diminished triad, whose root is A, third is C, and fifth is Eb. An A Major triad would consist of the keys A, C#, and E; A minor would have A, C, and E. Diminished means it becomes even smaller in terms of intervals now, so you lower the fifth by a half step and E becomes Eb.

Hope that helped.

Answer 4

if you are going from low to high, this is a G Major Chord, in second inversion (that is to say, the fifth [D] is the lowest note. Otherwise, it's in Root position, with G in the bass.

Answer 5

That's an F-sharp 7 chord. If the C# is on bottom, then it's F#7/C#, which is 2nd inversion.

Answer 6

The chord "F-A-C-E" is a major seven chord, but with the "b" it is some other modification...

Answer 7

A minor (A, C, E).
