A diatonic triad is a three-note chord formed by stacking two thirds on top of a root note, using only the notes from a specific scale or key. Each triad corresponds to a degree of the scale, and the triads can be major, minor, diminished, or augmented, depending on the intervals between the notes. In Western music, diatonic triads are fundamental to harmony and are commonly used in chord progressions. They help establish the tonal center and define the character of a piece of music.
