   you are right in …
   you are right in your understanding of the basic construct of a chord using the triad format - C-E-G. When I add the C-note up top (C-E-G-C), it is usually to “open” up the chord. It still IS a regular chord because even though it is 4 notes instead of 3, they are all notes that make up the triad chord C major.

   So you can play the c-major chord several ways
   C-E-G-C or
   E-G-C-E or even
   G-C-E-G

   In all three cases, the notes that make up the chord C major are the same. Hope that helps!

   Like at 1:05 where u say you’ll use the key of C, you play a C octave with an E in the middle. As opposed to the standard 1-3-5 of C-E-G. Why? I’m a beginner btw lol
