obs: That representation of chords refers to spaces between the notes | |
for example a major triad is: root note, 3 spaces, note, 2 spaces, note, like so: | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| |_| |_| | |_| |_| |_| | | |
|XXX| |XXX| |XXX| | | | |
|XXX| |XXX| |XXX| | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___| | |
therefore this would be 3 - 2 on that chord representation |
