I am an untrained newbie exploring music. My daughter, the music teacher, has been helping me, so now I am dangerous.
She told me a chord is made of a root or 1st, a third, and the fifth. Then she explained on the piano that means every other white key.
I was looking at the fingering for some basic chords and got confused on the D chord. Seems to me the F# in the D major chord would make it a minor chord. The F in the D minor chord would make it a major. The E minor I think should be an E major. I hope the chart helps explain what I am nattering about.
