What is shown on the right

are called major triads. The

chords are laid out the same

way as a keyboard. (C, C#,

D, D#...etc.) Each chord has

a rootnote such as C in C

chord and D in D chord. The

string marked with a is

the root of the chord.

Minor chords have a little

sadder and melancholic

tonality. The same rule

applies to the roots of the

major chords. By the way, a

chord with # and a chord with

can become the same

chord sometimes, for

example, C

♯ = D
