Building Chords from Triads

We've got a good understanding of triads now, but of course harmony would be pretty boring if all we ever did was use these triads in only their basic form.

In this lesson we have a look at how we can turn basic triads into fuller chords by either spreading their notes out over different octaves, doubling up the notes of a triad or a combination of the two!

There are lots of different possible ways to turn a basic triad into a fuller chord. Your job is to find the ones you like!
