Piano chords

At this page piano chords are shown, for piano/keyboard players, or students who use piano or keyboard while studying these compose music lessons. We list the different chord qualities that we came to know until now. They are the four different triads (the major, minor, augmented and diminished triad), and the dominant seventh chord. As an example of inversions, the three inversions of the major triad are given, and also the four inversions of the dominant seventh chord are given.
