Q. I'm trying to play a song on guitar with the capo on the second fret with the chords F, Am, G, and E. I don't fluently play piano so I don't know much about it. If I was trying to play those chords on the piano to match the ones played with a capo, what should I do differently? It just doesn't sound right.
A. When you use the capo, you raise the chords by a half step for each fret. That means that the F chord you're fingering actually is G on a piano..or even the guitar for that matter. If you move each of your chords up two frets, they become:
F â G
Am â Bm
G â A
E â F#
Do you understand what the capo does? It allows you to change key without changing the fingering of the chords. For convenience, we often refer to the capoed chords as "shapes" rather than chords. The F "shape" that you're playing with the capo on the second fret is really no longer an F. The capo converted it to a G. If you moved the capo up one fret, the same F shape would become a G#. I don't know if I made this any clearer or not.....it's always a bit difficult to explain.
Anyway, your piano chords should be G, Bm, A and F#
Can you please give me the piano chords for Through It All by Hillsong United?
Q. I really, really need it for school. Just a simple one will do. I don't know how to read guitar chords/ tabs so i cannot translate it. PLEASE.
A. Will this work? http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/h/hillsongs/through_it_all_crd.htm Technically, they're guitar chords, but chords are built the same way. Just know how the chords are built.
G: G-B-D
D/F#: D-F#-A (with an added bass F#)
Emsus (Basically Em): E-G-B
C9 (or C2): C-D-E-G
D: D-F#-A
Bm: B-D-G#
What are the piano notes to the song smile by Nat King Cole?
Q. Please help, I can't find anything and I can't read music. I really would like to play this for my grandmother since she loves this song and might have cancer. I would really like the notes, but if you just give me the chords then i guess i can figure out the chords. I haven't been playing that long, so please help. Thank you all.
