    There are four basic types of triads in Western music: major, minor, diminished, and augmented. Each triad is constructed from a root note, a third interval above the root, and a fifth interval above the root. The major triad uses a major third and perfect fifth. The minor triad uses a minor third and perfect fifth. The diminished triad uses a minor third and diminished fifth. The augmented triad uses a major third and augmented fifth.
