What are triad chords(can i get a 2 or 3 example), so i can get an understanding.

What does it mean when somebody tell you to use the 3rd and dominant 7th(flat 7th) notes in your bass note bass.

I don't know nothing about a 3rd or a dominant 7th notes. I trying to learn how to use tritones, i need help bad.

What is a three notes tritone,give me a example

Triad is not the same as tritone. Tritone is a more advanced concept. If you don't know what a triad is, don't worry about what a tritone is right now. Learn the basics first. A basic major triad in C is C,E,G. Apply this concept to the other keys.

A triad chord is a chord made up of only 3 notes:

C-E-G
B-D-F
A-C-E

A tritone is just 2 notes that form the interval of an augmented 4th or diminished 5th.  Also, it doesn't matter which order u play them in, the only difference is the sound:

F-B or B-F
E-Bb or Bb-E
D#-A or A-D#

When someone says play the 3rd and dominant 7th in the bass, they are talking about the 3rd and flat 7th notes of the key of the chord.  Does that make senses to you?  Here is an example:

C7 chord = C-E-G-Bb
C major scale degrees = C D E F G A B
3rd = E
flat 7th = Bb
C7 chord w/3rd and flat 7th in bass = E-Bb / C-G-C

Stuff like that is sort of like playing a chord in different ways by switching which notes u play in the RH and LH.  Ultimately, both hands together will make the full chord.

I hope I have answered all your questions.  If there is something u don't understand, please ask.
