Are there other 'simple' chords? (B, D, F, etc)
Are these 'simple' chords used or are they just a learning tool?
Do they fit into the 1-3-5 format or do they have their own 'rules'?
Am I getting ahead of myself? :)
Thanks,
GG

The triads in the triad tutorial can't be played all at the same time because some of the notes are on the same strings. All the triads in the inversion tutorial can be played at the same because all of their notes are on separate (but, adjacent strings).
Regardless, all of them are triads and chords.Originally Posted by: GuitardedGeezer
The examples in the triad lessons had all the notes played separately, not strummed all at once like a chord. And the playing all the notes at once is what makes it a chord?
A chord is the 1st, 3rd and 5th note of a scale. Usually they are played together. If you slightly separate them time-wise (temporaly) then they are still a chord, but it is called an arpeggio; which is defined as a broken chord, or playing the notes one after each other and not simultaneously. That is an arpeggiated chord.

I'm also guessing there must be dozens of other 'simple' chords, by forming a triad based on each note and placing the notes so it can be played all at once like a chord?
