This is incorrect. Gouache painting is very very similar to watercolours, so much so that the two can be used together. It is an opaque method of painting.
The bottom note is considered the root. So, the middle note is the third and the top note is the fifth.
The triad is the basic chord and has three notes called the root, the third and the fifth. The root gives the chord a name.
The notes of a triad include the note letter name in the musical alphabet:
> A-C-E
> B-D-F
> C-E-G
> D-F-A
There is a triad's characteristic determined by its intervals. Known as qualities<em>, </em>they are <em>major, minor, diminished </em>and<em> augmented</em>. These are determined by the intervals in each one.
In modern music genres, chord symbols appear above the staff to show the performer the kind of chord he/she needs to play.
Musicians can build a triad on any note.
