My question is if i can do diferent chords beside major, minor, disminished, augmented?
(i just want chords formed by 3 or 2 tones, not 4 tones).
Thank you

If you are looking for chords with only two or three tones, the three tone chords are the major, minor, augmented and diminished chords.
Two tone chords would be the root, 5th power chord. Another would be the root, octave.
Three tone chords would be as follows:
Major chord=Root, 3rd, 5th
Minor chord=Root, flat 3rd, 5th
Augmented chord=Root, 3rd, sharp 5th
Diminished chord=Root, flat 3rd, flat 5th
Terminology does vary in regard to the word "diminished" and there have been discussions of what exactly is meant by diminished here before.
Diminsihed triad chord= Root, flat 3rd, flat 5th
Half-diminished chord=Root, flat 3rd, flat 5th, flat 7th
Diminished Seventh chord=Root, flat 3rd, flat 5th, double flat 7th(meaning the 7th is flatted twice.)
Please note that some books on theory call the diminished chord the four tone seventh chord and do not refer to the triad.
This discussion will be meaningless to you, however, if you do not know what is meant by Root, 3rd, 5th or flat 5th and flat 3rd in a triad. I am assuming you do know these terms, but please let us know if you need further explanation. Someone here will be glad to explain further.
