    This document discusses how to create major chords by stacking thirds. It shows the notes that make up a major triad, major 7th chord, major 9th chord, major 11th chord, and major 13th chord, which are built by stacking thirds from the root note. The major 11th and 13th chords are rarely used due to clashing intervals but the structure of building chords by stacking thirds is called tertian harmony.
