Chords are combinations of notes played simultaneously. They form the backbone of harmony in music. Whether you're playing a cozy tune on a piano, strumming a guitar, or composing an orchestral piece, chords will be part of your musical toolbox.
Harmonics are the overtone frequencies that resonate when a musical note is played. They add richness and color to music. Next time you hear a violinist or a guitarist play, listen closely for these subtle, mystical sounds.
