Okay so i know what a chord is. A series of 3 or more keys you play at once to make a sound. But then i see shit like this (first 15 seconds or so) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAFNQ_8nvU
This guy is playing like a fucking billion different keys at different times yet it's classified as one "chord". Wouldn't that be a scale? Sorry i'm just do peeved that i look at all these tutorials of chords describing them as keys you press at the same time and they just throw it out the window once they show an example.

You know, the music theory is there to take notes and to give a common language to name things the same way for everyone's use.

A chord can have more than 3 notes, specially in jazz theory where chord are always listed as tetrads.
The simples way of putting it, a chord is any small set that you can play in relationship to other sets.

A chord is just more than one note. Belly flop on the piano, that's a chord. When a chord has three notes, it's called a 'triad.' A triad is literally just a chord with three notes.

chords can be extended, so yeah if you want to know a bit more look up "chord extensions".
