First, learn your scales, chord formulas and cycle of keys.so how do i find the 4, 3 chords of a certain key? playing a second inversion of the 7th? kinda confused thanks for the replys
Yup, basically. A third is an interval, like when are spelling a C major triad (R-3-5), the distance from C to E is a third, specifically a minor third. This ties into BC's answer to your question about 4/3 chords.thanks pumpthrust that explains alot. so when u say stacking in thirds u basically go up every second note in the scale from a root note and thats your chord like when u would with notes to form a triad chord except its just three notes in the chord? also why are they essential for good voice leading if you dont mind explaining
When someone ask "play me a D# chord in the key of B major", you will know, without hesitation, they are asking for a minor chord.
