Piano Basics Lesson Step 4 - Arpeggios from C Major (Triads)

What is a Triad?

A Triad is created by:
- Playing the 1st note of a scale
- Then missing the 2nd
- Then playing the 3rd note
- Then missing the 4th
- Then playing the fifth note (1-3-5).

These three notes pressed together are known as a "TRI-ad".

What is an Arpeggio?

If you play the triad notes one after the other (like the video) is it called and Arpeggio.

Extra Stuff:
C=1

Triads starting from notes: 1,4 & 5 happen to be Major.
Triads starting from notes 2,3 & 6 happen to be Minor.
Triads starting from note 7 happen to be Diminished

Hi,

A triad is created by playing the 1st note of a scale then missing the 2nd then playing the 3rd note and missing the 4th, then playing the fifth note (1-3-5). These three notes pressed together are known as a "TRI-ad". If you press them one after the other (like the video) is it called and Arpeggio.

Thanks for asking these questions as I don't think I've put these explanations anywhere else in my vids.

You are showing the chords under the C-Major Scale right???

C-Major CHORD is only 3 keys and the intervals are ; 1-3-5.

But I dont understand why C-Major SCALE ; the intervals are 1-2-3-4-5-6-7?

What's the difference??
