Q. I've been trying to play all sorts of piano chords, to match up with the melody i'm playing, and i can't seem to find the right chords. For example if i play a E or a G#, how would i know what type of chord would go with that?
A. Write all twelve of your major chords out on a piece of paper.
Now you'll notice that each note appears in three chords. For example A is in the A chord, it's in the middle of the F chord and it's the last note in the D chord.
Now write out all twelve minor chords and you'll see that A is Am, F#m and Dm.
Now that you have all 24 M+m chords written out, if your melody contains E and G# (As in your example) Then you look for a chord that contains both those notes. In this case you would use E, or C#m The choice of which one is totally up to you, whichever one sounds best.
You can of course go into 7th chords and Major Sevenths and extend the list from above, but you'd still be working fromthe same rules. Fromthe 7 group (just write them all out again) you'll add the choice of E7 (not much difference from group one huh?) and from the Major Seventh group the AM7 and the AmM7.
Of course then theres the 9's, 11's and 13's, but the ones listed above are the real answer=choose between E Major and C#minor (Which by the way are the same chord: E6=E G# B C# and C#m7= C# E G# B = exactly the same notes.)
All the best

Give me a basis or chords to write a minor piano song?
Q. Okay, so, its Christmas soon and I wanna write my bf a short song on piano. I really don't know how to start or how to write a good melody line or anything!! >.<
Can someone pleaseee give me some tips or a few minor-ish chords that will go together?
Thanks a bunch ^-^
A. A minor is probably easiest on piano.
A minor, D minor, E minor OR E7.
A minor is made up of A,C,E notes.
D minor is D,F,A.
E minor is E,G,B... though you could use the E7 to resolve more strongly back to A minor.
E7 is made of E, G#, B, D... working very strongly with the G# as the lowest note.
You might want to end the song with an A major chord, too: A, C#, E.
The "Picardy third" effect is a nice touch.
How do you play a song in A minor HELP PLEASE?
Q. So I'm playing the song danube waves and its in A minor key and I have no idea what that means. There is several chords for example e g#d , eac and also fbg so does the a minor key mean I change these chords somehow omg any help is needed now
A. A minor has the same notes as C major, which are the white keys on a piano.
The composition may nevertheless have notes other than these. You play it as it's written. There is no changing stuff around just because it says it's A minor.
E + A + C is an A minor chord in 2nd inversion (because E is the lowest note).
E + G# + D is not a normal chord. You've got an E7 chord with no fifth.
F + B + G is another oddball. It's a G7 with no fifth.
The basic chords in A minor are
A minor
B diminished
C major
D minor
E minor
F major
G major
Good luck with your music.
