What sort of chord progression should I use?

Q. I'm trying to write something on a piano. The "verse" consists of one bar of C, one bar of A, one bar of Gb, half bar of F, half bar of E, then repeated. I'm not quite sure how to work with the chorus though. Any suggestions?

A. What you have so far is pretty unusual.
You're coming down in minor thirds C - A - Gb and then finish chromatically F - E.
There is no real connection to a key center as finishing on the E chord does not lead naturally back to C.
Do you have a key in mind?
You could go to F for the chorus or Dm.
Whatever you do, make it a different shape. Move around less like:
F /// | E /// | Dm /// | C /// | F /// | E /// | F /// | G /// | or simile.
It sounds to me like you could do with some harmonic variety instead of just a bunch of major chords.
But then who am I to judge!
Some free info here that might help:

Original Question

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.
