This is the root note, which we'll say is one in the formula, and then it's joined by the third and fifth note in the same scale, all played at the same time together.

They make a lovely harmonious sound.

And then if you want to make that chord a minor, you would just flatten the third one down half a step, and now it sounds sadder and spookier.

So C major is C, E, G, and C minor would be C, E flat, G,

but you can also call that E flat or D sharp.

And I actually hate that so much.

Yeah.

We're just going to stop there because there's sevenths, there's ninths, there's something called suspended.

I just, I can't deal with it.

It gets really weird.

We're just going to stop there and that's chords.

Sort of.

I'm really bad.

I can really only do C major.

I basically just memorized a few chords in C major.

Like there's this whole joke about like most songs are like C, D minor, F and G. It's like those are C major chords and C scale and like.

So many songs you can make with those same notes.

And I love that Sam Elliott thing about like, all music's just 12 notes.

12 notes and the octave repeats.

It's just true.
