How many major and minor chords are there for piano?

Q. I know that there are more than just major an minor chords, for example, diminished but I only want to know how many major and minor chords there are...help :)

A. That is a really difficult question to answer...

Unless you just just want the number of major and minor TRIADS. So there are 12 notes in a scale. so.. 24? unless you counting each octave as well.
a piano has 6 or 7 octaves...so then 144 or 168... just major and minor triads... as in 1-3-5
it's pointless counting each octave since it's all the same notes.
So I leave my answer at 24.
1. C major
2. C#/Db major
3. D major
4. D#/Eb major
5. E major
6. F major
7. F#/Gb major
8. G major
9. G#/Ab major
10. A major
11. A#/Bb major
12. B major
multiply that by 2 for the minor chords.

Original Question

What are the notes which makes up these chords?
Q. I've come across a song recently which is made up of lots of very complex chords. What are the notes which forms the four ascending chords heard in this video at 3:12 ? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGGN3FVJh98

Thanks!

A. I count five chords, starting with the one sounding at 3:12, and finishing with the one playing when the singing starts, so I'm not sure which four chords you mean. Here are the five I hear, with the voicings as I'd play them on piano:

Bb9/13
RH: Ab C D G
LH: Bb

F/A
RH: F A C
LH: A

Gb/Ab
RH: Gb Bb Db
LH: Ab

G+(7)b9
RH: (F) Ab B D#
LH: G

GbM7
RH: Bb Db F
LH: Gb

See what you think.

Original Question

How to play the starting piano riff of 'in the end' by linkin park on guitar?
Q. Tell me the scales of the riff.i cant read tabs so tell me string and fret number.

A. I'll write it like this: E1
The letter is the string name, the number is the fret. Remember, the string names (from thickest to thinnest) are EADGBe

D1
G3 G3
D4 D3 D3 D3 D3 D4

The actual song is in dropped Db tuning; tune your guitar to drop D (tune down the E to a D) and then downtune the whole guitar a half-step to Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

I'll try and teach you how to read tabs:

A tab is a visual representation of the guitar neck and the fret you play. Here's an example of the E string:

E|- - - 3 - - -|

All you have to do here is play the third fret of the E string. You read them from left to right, so:

E|- - - 3 - - -|
B|- 1 - - - 1 |

Here, you play the first fret of the B string, then the third fret of the E string then the first fret of the B string again.

Simultaneous numbers are chords, so here's the tab for Emin:

E| - - 0 - - |
B| - - 0 - - |
G| - - 0 - - |
D| - - 2 - - |
A| - - 2 - - |
E| - - 0 - - |

For both E strings, G and B you play open, or zero frets and hold down the second frets on the A and D strings.

There's a lot of terminology but you learn it overtime. X means you mute or don't play the string and 5/3 means you'd slide down from the fifth fret to the third fret.

Have fun!
