This is a series on TRIADS - TRIADS are 3 note chords they contain only the three notes that are in the chord. As you may know when you play a basic ukulele chord it has 4 notes, and one of those notes is repeated (two of the notes are the same), if we take out the repeated note in any major or minor chord we have a TRIAD!
