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.

On synthesizers what does 'detune' do and how does it work?

On a synthesizer, in theory, all of the notes can be played perfectly in tune. However, this could sound a bit sterile and unnatural. There are 100 cents in a semi-tone (or half step). When "detuning" is used, one or more of the notes in a chord or unison are played just slightly out of tune...maybe by 2 or 3 cents. This makes the chord sound more natural to our ears. Mike R.
