> I still have no idea how to play some specific chord like for example the most basic C major chord.
The harmonic series or overtones goes:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...
C1 C2 G2 C3 E3 G3 Bâ™3 ...
You could play 1,3,5 to play C1,G2,E3 but this gives notes from three different octaves. What you usually want is C3,E3,G3, and fortunately it's right there: play 4,5,6.
