● Chord names
From the chord name, you can tell at a glance what type of chord it is and which notes make up the
chord. Understanding the basic structure of chords is very useful—once you’re familiar with this,
you’ll be quickly and easily play chords by looking at the names that appear above the notation.
Taking the chord above as an example, the lowest note of this triad is called the “root note.” This is
the central note sound, and it supports or anchors the rest of the notes chord. Upper case letters
(including sharps or flats) at the left of the chord name shows root note. The chord name is
determined by a root note and chord type like as major or minor, and so on.
