This quiz is about training your hearing. Learn to recognize and differentiate intervals. In music theory, an interval is the difference in pitch between two tones.
The interval of a major third corresponds to 4 semitone steps.
The minor third only has 3 semitone steps. The frets on the fingerboard correspond exactly to semitones.
A major third can be completed to a major chord by adding a note. The notes G and B are a major third apart. If you now add the note D, you get the D major chord. G - B - D
However, a major third can also be completed to a minor chord by adding a note. The notes G and B are a major third apart. If you now add the note E, the E minor chord is created. E - G - B
The same applies to the minor third.
Starting with the minor third G and Bb, the additional note D creates the chord G minor. G - Bb - D
But if you add the note Eb to the two notes G and Bb, then the chord Eb major is created. Eb - G - Bb.
So you can - always in your mind - add another note to each third to form a major or minor triad. This often makes it easy and quick to recognize whether it is a minor or major third. Good luck, have fun!
