| Tertian Chord | A chord built of 3rds |
| What is the fundamental tertian? | The Triad |
| Triad | A 3 note chord consisting of a 5th divided into 2 superimposed 3rds |
| Augmented Triad (+) | M3-M3 (is an Augmented/+ 5th) |
| Major Triad (M) | M3-m3 (is a Perfect/P 5th) |
| Minor Triad (m) | m3-M3 (is a Perfect/P 5th) |
| Diminished Triad (˚) | m3-m3 (is a diminished/ ˚ 5th) |
| Seventh Chord | An extended tertian triad/4 note chord (with a 3rd on top of the 5th of the triad) whose interval between the added note and the root is some kind of 7th (major, minor, or diminished) |
| Major Seventh | [M7] Construction: (Major Triad)--(Major 7th) |
| Major-Minor Seventh | [Mm7] Construction: (Major Triad)--(minor 7th) |
| Minor Seventh | [m7] Construction: (minor Triad)--(minor 7th) |
| Half-Diminished Seventh | [ø7] Construction: (Diminished Triad)--(minor 7th) |
| Diminished Seventh | [˚7] Construction: (Diminished Triad)--(Diminished 7th) |
| Root Position | (Is a type of bass position) The root is the lowest tone (the root is in the bass) |
| First Inversion | (Is a type of bass position) The 3rd is the lowest tone (the 3rd is in the bass) |
| Second Inversion | (Is a type of bass position) The 5th is the lowest tone (the 5th is in the bass) |
| Inversion | To transfer the lowest note to some higher octave |
| What determines the inversion of a triad or 7th chord? | Which member of the chord is in the bass |
| What is the inversion phone number? | (636) 465-4342 |
