Q. I'm trying to write my own songs on the piano, I know about chord progressions but my problem is what notes do I hit are they random or if I'm playing a C chord am I only able to play C,E,G until I hit a new chord? does anybody have any links that will help me or anything?
A. Accidentals. They are various notes (only a few, otherwise you might as well switch between chords), that have the flat, sharp, or natural sign in fornt of them, that are not part of the chord.

Tips for practicing chord progressions in jazz?
Q. I've been playing jazz on the piano for a while now, and while my technical skill at the piano is about up to snuff I'm having trouble keeping up with the chord progressions. I can more or less follow a blues if I really concentrate but that's it. So can you guys and gals give me any tips on how to keep up with a song's chord progression and especially on how to practice that?
A. You might want to try what they used to call music minus one records. Now primarily CD's.....What they are is a rhythm section playing thru various tunes.....and you have the book with the chord changes included. The recorded rhythm section plays around 20 choruses of a given tune and you play along with them...As a pianist you can practice either soloing or comping along with the record....the rhythm section never gets tired. Its a new take on going to jazz clubs and asking to sit in. One of the best to work from is the Jamey Abersold records. Look in the back of Down Beat magazine or Jazz Times magazine. Hope this helps you out. Best of Luck!!
