The chord is the basic harmonic unit in music. The simplest chords, known as triads, consist of three different notes. Each of these notes is separated by a specific interval, or number of half-steps. Once you know how play a chord in root position, you can learn to play its inversions. These use the same notes as the original chord, just in a different order.
