Learn to play piano course - Learn Music Theory Lesson 2 - How Chords are Constructed 101 - Triads, Inversions and Progressions

This is lesson 2 in the Learn Music Theory 101 for beginners series. This specific lesson covers how triad chords are constructed. The triad chord is made up of three notes; the first, the third, and the fifth. A Major chord triad sounds bright and happy. The minor triad sounds dark and sad. You can place the notes in a different order to create inversions. There are three chord positions for triads; which are root position, first inversion, and second inversion.
