The Anatomy of a Chord

101 Worship Piano & Keys, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar

Description

Understanding how chords are built gives you more control, more clarity, and better tone. Whether you’re playing a simple triad or creating a textured pad, knowing your root, third, and fifth—and how to voice them—is key to clean, musical worship moments.

Breaking Down Chords

  • Triads: Learn how major and minor chords are constructed from the 1, 3, and 5.

  • Slash Chords: Clarify which hand plays what, and how to simplify for band settings.

  • Inversions and Voicings: Learn how to move less and sound better by choosing chord positions that flow.
