The lowest note in a musical chord?

That is called the "base" of the chord. Try not to get this word confused with "root," which is the lowest note of the chord if it is in root position. Root position is when the chord is built up in thirds. Ex: C, E and G make up the C chord and the root of the chord "C" is also the base note. If this same C chord is mixed around so that G is the lowest note then higher in order is C and then E, then G would be the base note of the chord.


What is the Bb5 chord?

It simply means only play the root and the fifth of the chord, so in this case, Bb and F, no D (3rd) or a variation of the A (7th) in it


What is the G five chord?

A G 5th chord is a chord in which the root note (1) is G and the fifth note is D. Both notes are played together. There is no 3rd in this chord. The missing 3rd gives it an "empty" or "hollow" sound. These are also referred to as power chords for their "power". On a guitar, the G5 is usually played GDG (1st string 3rd fret, 2nd string 5th fret, 3rd string 5th fret).


What is it called when there is a major chord after a minor part in a song?

It depends on context. If the piece continues in minor after the major chord, it was probably a half cadence on a major V chord. If the very last chord of a minor piece is major, that's called a Picardy 3rd.


What is a third?

That's a vague sounding question, but I've encountered the term in music theory, referring to the third step of an 8 step scale (do, re, mi). The 3rd is known as a color tone along with the 6th, 7th, and 9th, because it helps to determine the quality of a chord (more than two notes played in unison).A triad is a 3 note chord consisting of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th degrees of a scale played in unison. It can be major, minor, or diminished depending on the relative distance between scale degrees.Every scale in western music contains 12 half steps. This constitutes an octave, or the repetition of the root note one octave up. The 3rd can determine whether a chord is major, minor, or diminished by its location between the root note and the 5th. If a 3rd is three half steps from the root and four half steps from the 5th, a minor chord is made. If it is four half steps from the root and three half steps from the 5th, a major chord is made. If the 3rd is three half steps from the root and three half steps from the 5th, a diminished chord is made.It is possible to create major and minor intervals with only two notes. Three half steps between notes indicates a minor interval, and four half steps indicates a major interval. A diminished chord requires at least three notes, as it cannot be diminished without a flat 5th.I hope this quick breakdown of triad music theory sheds some light.


What is the root note of the C major chord?

The most important note of a chord is the tonic, followed by the third and the seventh, as they are what determines the quality of the chord (i.e. Major, minor, diminished etc.) Actually, the 7th only comes into play if it's a chord that includes the 7th. A major chord is the tonic, third, and fifth. A minor chord is the tonic, flat third, and fifth. A diminished chord is the tonic, flat third, and flat fifth. None of those chords (also several others) include the 7th.


Where is C-Sharp Minor on a piano?

There is no such thing as a C sharp minor on a piano. C sharp minor refers to a key signature or tonal center, not a singular note. Remember, the individual notes in music mean nothing until they are made relative to each other by the scale or chords used. Right but also the C# minor scale (C#m) means take the C# scale and flat the third note in the scale progression. The third note here is E# (E Sharp). Start by counting the first note of the scale, it is called the root, in this case C#. So, C#, D#, then E#. The chord is the usually the first (root), 3rd and fifth notes of the scale progression. In a minor key/scale you flat the 3rd note of the scale/chord. So here the E# is flatted to be natural E. The chord C# minor (C#m) consists of the notes C#, E and G#. Have fun.


What is the name of the 3 note chord F?

The III note is A. However, the 3rd note in the chord is the V note. That is C. The F major chord is F, A, C.


What is the G chord for the guitar?

A gsus4 chord consists of the notes G, C, and D. The sus stands for suspended. In this instance the C is the "suspended" note, because the natural resolve wants it to move to B, which would then turn the chord into G major.
