How many notes make up a chord?

Answer 1

the basic chords are major and minor. a major chord is made up of the first, third, and fifth notes of the major scale. for example:

C D E F G A B C

in a c major scale, the first, third, and fifth notes are C, E, and G, and these three notes make up the chord C major, which is usually written as simply "C."

It works the exact same way with minor chords.

C D Eb F G Ab Bb C

in a c minor scale, the first, third, and fifth notes are C, Eb, and G, and they make up the chord C minor, which is written as "Cm" or sometimes "C-."
