How do I convert or change piano chords to bass guitar chords or tabs?

Q. Usually when I try to find gospel bass tabs or chords, I'm sent to sites that only have piano chords. Someone said that I could get the chords for the bass from the piano chords.

A. Typically the bass plays the same chords that the piano is playing, as both are concert C instruments. So an A chord on the piano is an A chord on the bass. Of course this is assuming you have the chords written above each measure. If this is the case, have the bassist improvise a line based on the chords. It's easy. If the chords are not written, you'll have to figure them out from the key of the piece and the melody written.

Original Question

Piano chords to go with alto sax piece?
Q. I'm playing colours of the wind on alto sax in the C Major key... I need three piano chords that i can play to accompany this, but I need help.

A. Here are the chords for "Colors Of The Wind" by Vaness Williams:
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/v/vanessa_williams/colors_of_the_wind_crd.htm

As key for piano or guitar here is shown the key C major:
C, Am, C, Em, Am, F, Dm, G, Am.

If you play that correct chords for piano, the alto sax has to play the melody chords:
A, F#m, A, C#m, F#m, D, Bm, E, F#m.

If you play the melody on alto sax in the key of C major, the piano has to play the chords:
Eb, Cm, Eb, Gm, Cm, Ab, Fm, Bb, Cm.

Original Question

how do i transpose keys on the piano to guitar chords?
Q. kk so im writing a song and i need to transpose the keys from piano into guitar chords (the piano notes are D#,F#,B,Bb), so if anyone knows any websites to help or if they already know how that would be really helpful.

A. "Transpose" indicates you want to convert from one key signature to another. Unless you're changing key, you don't need to transpose anything: just play the same notes on guitar. The same is true of chords.

If you don't know the name of the piano chord, here's a site that will give you the name: http://music-utilities.com/cgi-bin/chordfind.pl
The 4 notes you listed would form a Bmaj7 chord on piano or guitar. If you already know the name of the chord on piano, simply use any guitar chord chart to find the fingering on guitar: http://www.chordbook.com/guitarchords.php

If you just want to locate the same notes on a guitar fretboard, here's a chart that shows all the notes: http://guitarsecrets.com/homeworktw.htm

Here's a site that will show you the chord name if you enter the notes on a fretboard: http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/chord_name.php
