The bottom note of a basic triad is known as the root. The middle note is the third because it is a 3rd above the root, and the top one is the fifth because it is a 5th above the root. The qualities of the thirds (major or minor) used to build a triad determine the quality of the chord itself.

Moving a fifth up from G brings you to the key of D. D major contains 2 sharps – F# and C#. D major is spelled: D, E, F#, G, A, B, C#.
