Chords

  1. Diminished and Augmented Chords

    How diminished and augmented triads are built from stacked thirds, why both sound unstable, and where they show up in real music.

  2. Chord Inversions

    What a chord inversion is, how to recognize the same triad with a different note in the bass, and why musicians use inversions at all.

Ear training

  1. Chord quality by ear

    Listen to a chord and name what it is — major, minor, diminished or augmented.
