Strudel is great! But... are these really chords?

note("c4 e4 g4 c5").sound("triangle")

As a sibling comment said, it's a C major chord, but voiced one noted at a time. "usually" / in pop, you hear all the notes at once.

I think OP's point is that the very definition of a chord is a bunch of notes played at the same time.

[dr_kiszonka]

I think chords at least three notes played at once, with the exception of maybe power chords. Using your definition, every piece with two or more notes has chords :)

What do you mean? Yes that is a C Major chord.

[dr_kiszonka]

Is it? :)

Arpeggiated chord?
