A major triad is a musical chord that consists of three specific notes: the root, the major third, and the perfect fifth. In terms of scale degrees, if you take a major scale, the major triad can be constructed as follows:
1. **Root**: The first note of the scale.
2. **Major Third**: The note that is four half steps above the root.
3. **Perfect Fifth**: The note that is seven half steps above the root.
For example, in the C major scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), the C major triad consists of the notes C (root), E (major third), and G (perfect fifth). This triad is often described as having a happy or bright sound, which is characteristic of major chords.
