A minor triad is Fmaj7 (without the root)
D minor triad is Fmaj6 (without the root)
If you try the Mickey Baker Jazz chord book he will teach you about 28 voicings that have loads of applications.
Personally I love finding new uses for old chord almost as much as mastering new chords
A few from the key of C major:
Cmaj7 = E-/C
Cmaj9 = E-7/C
D-7 = F/D
D-9 = Fmaj7/D
E-7 = G/E
E-7-9 = G7/E
Fmaj7 = A-/F
Fmaj9 = A-7/F
G9 = B-7-5/G
A- = unrooted Fmaj7
Bdim = unrooted G7
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I'd rather give someone a little bit of information so they can own their discovery.
In each key there are really only three sounds: the root chord, the second chord and the fifth chord.
The root chord is notes 1 3 5 and 7
The second chord is 2 4 6 and 1
The fifth chord is 5 7 2 and 4
Everything else is a blend of two of those - with a stronger pull to one sound or the other.
Means chords divide into 3 camps, synonyms for those sounds, for instance:
I: C, E-
ii: D-, F
V: G7, B-7b5
The more diatonic notes you add to those the more blurred the lines become.
Use non-diatonic notes and you're dabbling with modes and your children will all be drummers.
Chords are just collections of notes played simultaneously, if you know the fretboard, you know where the notes are located, then you can play collections of notes simultaneously as chords.
The problem is that most people don't really learn the fretboard, so they don't know the location of the notes, so they rely on just using moveable chord shapes.
Interestingly, most piano players don't rely on just using chord shapes.
f*cking cheats.
Now, banjo, slide guitarists and ukelele players do rely on chord shapes
Actually IMHO, most guitarists just want to learn a few tunes, they don't want to put years of dedicated disciplined practice into learning to play the guitar.
Surely it's play one miss one play one miss one play one play one...?

Yes, "Play one miss one play one miss one play one miss one play one miss one" is thirds based harmony "Tertian Harmony", that's what most (but not all) western harmony is based on. >:D<
But, why restrict yourself to just using tertian harmony when quartal, quintal and secundal harmonies are nice too..............
Tertian Harmony is building chords with every third note of a scale.
Quartal Harmony is building chords with every fourth note in a scale.
Quintal Harmony is building chords with every fifth note in a scale.
Secundal Harmony is building chords with every second note in a scale. (Inverted Seconds are my fav.)
Tertian Harmony, stacked thirds are the chords you have been playing\hearing all your life, it's Western music, alluded to by building chords with "Play one miss one play one miss one play one miss one play one miss one".
Have fun, just play, you don't need theory.....................
"Music theory is the study of the practices and possibilities of music. It generally derives from observation of how musicians and composers make music, but includes hypothetical speculation. Most commonly, the term describes the academic study and analysis of fundamental elements of music such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, and form, but also refers to descriptions, concepts, or beliefs related to music."
