Q. I'm new to guitar, don't know how to put this. When I'm playing a song in D, what other chords are suitable to be played along side D? List each one of them please, especially the jazz chords!
I just picked up the guitar yesterday so the only ones I know for D are A & G haha so I appreciate the help. Thanks! :)
A. Hello there,
Here is a link to a chord progression generator. You can use it to find various combinations of chords. For instance, you want to play in D. You can check out the I 4 5 1 progression. You can hear how it sounds and see what the chords are. Since you are just starting, you may not know what the 1 4 5 1 means. You don't need to at this point. The numbers refer to the root note (1) in this case D, the 4th note up the scale and the 5th note up the scale. Don't get hung up on that aspect. You will pick up the theory in time. For now, use try select different progressions to see how they sound. If you like them, use them. A easy way to experiment on chord progressions without understanding music theory.

Also, here is a link to a chord chart. It is a pdf file and several pages long. Just down load the pdf file to your computer. Whenever you want to see what the fingering is for any chord, you can find it on the chart.

Pianists: Is this a semi-easy piece?
Q. http://cdn.ocp.org/shared/pdf/preview/22342z1.pdf
I am playing that at my aunt and uncle's on Christmas Day. The only parts I'm having trouble is on the bass clef and playing bass & treble clefs together. How can I get more familiar with the bass clef part and do better at it?
A. yes , this is a semi easy piece:) I've been playing piano for 12 yrs. To get familiar with the bass cleft, play the top notes first to get familiar with them, then practice by playing each note together by making the chords. Once you have the Bass clef part mastered, then you can play with both hands the Treble Cleft and Bass clef together. Practicing piano by using your hands separately helps, because practicing with one hand strengthens the part of music your learning, and when each hand has mastered both parts of the song. Then when you use both hands together to play , it makes a masterpiece.
Heres a link below of a list of all piano chords, just in case your not sure what chord it is.
