What is a chord?
A chord in music is when a group of 3 or more notes are played together to create harmony. For example, the C major chord includes the 3 notes C, E, and G.
Chords are the building blocks for chord progressions, which form the foundation for the rhythm.
Chords are named and constructed from intervals. For example, the major chord formula is 1-3-5.
When the notes in a chord are played individually instead of all at once, it’s called an arpeggio.
