Q. Ok well there's a song I bought for guitar. In the chorus, the guitar chords are D, A, E, Esus2, F#m, and F#sus2. In another part the guitar chords are D(9), A(9), Esus, F#m11, and E6/G#. Its on guitar guru, which is a program where it teaches you how to play a song on guitar, well shows you how. I want to know how you could play these chords on piano. Also the song is Misery Business by Paramore.
10 points for a good answer
the key for guitar is Drop C#
A. Alright, so there are many different ways of voicing these chords on a piano, but I'll give you the basic way to work it out.
D (which is just D major) needs to have a D on the bass (lowest note) as well as an F# and probably an A. You'll probably want to double the D, depending on where the melody line is going.
A (major) needs an A in the bass, as well as a C# and probably an E. You may decide you want to add a D, or change the C# to a D for part of the duration of the chord making it an Asus, because it's in D, but that's a preference thing, and not included in what's written. once again, the A is good to double, but you can double anything you like, really.
E (major) same deal - E bass, G# and B. To suspend a 2nd (Esus2) lower the G# to an F#. It's not asking for an E7, but if you leave in the D from before, that can work, re-emphasising your key, but it's not in the music you've given.
F#m (minor) needs an F# bass, A and a C#. See above notes on doubling. A is also a good note to double in this case, but avoid the C#. Probably voice the C# fairly high in the chord. Once again, to suspend the 2nd, (F#sus2), simply lower the A one semitone to G#. Don't double this note though.
That gives you a basic chord theory (which you can also use for working out chords on the guitar yourself, if you like) and the other chords are alterations, as follows:
(9) simply means you add the 7th and 9th degrees (7th is always lowered unless it says MAJ7 or ^7)
So D(9) is D, F#, (A optional), C(natural) E. Any order, as long as the D is the bass. and C natural probably highish.
A(9) is A, C#, G, B. Can also have E. A bass, B probably highish.
Esus usually means sus4, unless it says 2, so E, A, B. E bass.
F#m11 needs F# bass, A, E, B. Can also have C# and G#.
E6/G# is a little different - think of it as an Emaj, with an added 6th, and a G# in the bass - G# bass, E, (optional B) C#.
Of course, other colours you might want to use, and the order you voice stuff in (apart from the bass) will depend on what melodies and countermelodies you have going. It's hard to type, much easier to show...
