I don't think that, "generally speaking, a major chord is any chord which has a major third above its root," is true. For instance, an augmented chord has a major third above its root, but is not called major.Hyacinth 19:18, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC) I also feel the same way about the minor chord and augmented chord.
- Hm, you have a point. I wrote that because it seemed to me that the previous wording - which basically said that a major chord is CEG (or the same intervals in some other key) - was too restrictive; I would call a dominant seventh, say, a major chord, even though it has a seventh in it as well. One way around the problem is to move this page to the unambiguous title major triad (and minor chord to minor triad). I don't think we'd lose anything in doing this, because I doubt there's anything interesting to say about major chords in the wider sense anyway. There are probably other solutions, I think that's the easiest. --Camembert
[edit] Avoiding "b" and "#" for writing about music
Let's agree to use wikistandard for writing about music and NOT use "b" for flat and "#" for sharp.

Erm, I can't see any sharps or flats, but just weird characters. What's wrong?
