Chords are commonly labeled with qualities, which describe the intervals between the pitches involved. A \textit{root note} describes the base upon which successive intervals are based. For example, given a specified root, a \textit{major} chord consists of notes 4 semitones above the root and 7 semitones above the root, invariant of octave. This means that notes in a major chord must be 4 and 7 semitones above the root modulus 12. See figure~\ref{fig:qualitytable} for a sample of commonly named chord qualities and the associated intervals. \\

A chord with only 3 notes in which successive intervals are within an octave from the root note is called a \textit{triad}. A C major triad is demonstrated in figure~\ref{fig:cmajorchord1}.
