Well, now you have. ;) I'm sure you have heard the term "Chord Structure" or something familar. I probably could have used a more politically correct term: Building chords, Constructing triads, whatever floats your boat. I didn't mean to confuse you on that one. I thought you wanted to hear things explained in my own terms. :confused: You also forget, chris, all music theory is some sort of POV. The universal is just the "commonly" used.
