Quote:
The outermost ring, the Chord Ring, shows you what type of three-note chord, or triad, is rooted at each of the seven notes in the selected key. For example, in C Major, the triad rooted at D (that is, D-F-A) is a minor chord, but in G Major, the triad rooted at D (D-F-A) is instead a major chord.
Gotcha...
The above is wrong.. in C Major.. the D triad IS a minor triad.. 1 b3 5.. DFA (this about the key of C is correct)
the statement about G is wrong.. so...
in the key of G Maj.. the D triad WOULD be MAJOR.. 135 D F# A.. there is NO F natural in the key of G Major.. and the D major would actually wind up being D dominant.. a seven chord b/c it is from the Mixolydian mode 135b7.. Major 3rd..flatted 7th..
following diatonic theory within G Major, there is no way the five chord is minor.. if you want to keep it really vanilla.. then the five is Major (in a Major key) .. or you can go ahead an add the flat seven tone/color and it'll be a dom7.
