2. The third ( Its interval above the root note being the minor third ( three semitones ) or major third (four semitones)

• The fifth ( Its interval above the third being a minor or major third or a major third, hence its interval above the root being a diminished fifth ( seven semitones ) or augmented fifth ( eight semitones )
