What note within a chord do you change to make a major chord minor?
To change a major chord into a minor chord we have to change the major third (3) of the chord into a minor third (m3).
How many different types of chords are there?
There are four different types: major, minor, diminished and augmented.
Which two intervals make up a major chord?
Major chords or triads are created by taking some root note, say C, and then moving up a major third, followed by a minor third (or a perfect 5th from the root). A perfect fifth is simply a major third plus a minor third above a root note, (or the 5th note in a major or minor scale).
