How do you use piano chords to play a song?
Q. Okay, so I wanted to play this song, and when I downloaded the "sheet music" for the song, it turned out to be chords.
The introduction went: Bsus4 F#sus4 G#m F#
I can read sheet music, but I don't know how to make the chords into actual notes. How are you supposed to put it into melody, and how do you know which notes are right hand, and which are left?
And, a bigger problem. The first chord says Bsus4 which is B, E, and F#.
But, when I look at the tutorial for the song I want to play, the first notes are, B F# B.
Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how to make these piano chords into a song?
A. Sounds like you found a lead sheet?
A lead sheet usually has the right hand melody line and then left hand chords on the top of the melody.
To read this, you have to find out exactly which individual notes are included in the chord scale. Basically you have to find out the key signature of each of the chords.
For your "bigger problem" ...its still the same chord only an inversion of it.
This is sorta complicated to explain right now because this sounds a little advanced for you right now. Try looking up the sheet music and/or a tutorial for the same song again only looking for the actual notes instead of chords. If you want to learn how to read chords and lead sheets, your gunna hafta study chords a lot more instead of just sheet music.
How do you convert piano chords into sheet music? Is there some sort of program you can use?
Q. I've played for 8 years, but I only know how to read sheet music, and I don't have time to learn to read chords before i play next. Please help??
A. You mean to say that you can't read chord symbols? Like G7 F#m Bb7(#9) etc?
You've been playing 8 years and you can't do that??!?! No offense, but what have you been learning? Getting by for 8 years without a basic understanding of how music is constructed... I just can't understand that. Do you even know how to play your major scales? If not, learn that... NOW! You're way behind.
If you can play your major scales, it's not that hard to understand how chords are made.

This is a chart of chord formulas I made. My first guitar teacher gave me something like this my second lesson, and it gave me a HUGE leg up on my peers. Actually understanding music is crucial to giving a moving performance. Otherwise what you're doing is no different than someone reading a poem in a language they don't speak.
If you play two octaves of any major scale, number each note on the way up (you really only need to go up to 13 though). Then, to play any type of chord, you just play the notes the formula says. SO a major chord is 1 3 5. In C, this would end up being the notes C E and G. Any combination of C E and G is a C major chord. Some of the chords have alterations to a specific note, for example, a dominant 7th chord is 1 3 5 b7. So you would take the normal 7th, and flat it. In C, this would result in C E G and Bb.
Get it? Good.
That chord chart should give you plenty to work with. Seriously though, playing for 8 years and you couldn't play an F7 if somebody asked? There's something wrong with that... I'm not saying that you've failed, but your teachers have definitely failed you.
