Q. I started on the C chords and now I have to learn the Sharps. I don't feel I'm ready to learn these yet until the C chords are sunk well and truly in, That said I don't want to be learning each one for months at a time. I get it, I have to practice but as a rule, how long each day would you suggest a beginner learn his chords for?
Cheers.
A. The only rule is learn the chords until you know them. It might help to remember this:
All major chords are constructed this way: first play the note that is the name of the chord, then go up 4 half-steps (counting all notes, black and white) and play that note, then go up 3 half-steps and play that note. You can actually play the notes in any order and it is still the same chord; whether you play C, E, and G, or E, G, and C, or G, C, and E, it is still C chord, but to find the notes of a particular chord, start this way.
It should not take long to remember what C chord is.
how do i convert the chords from the key of f to the key of c?
Q. i want to play "the scientist" by coldplay in a different key, because the key of f isn't suitable for my voice. how can i change the chords CDFA, DFBb, CFA, to those that match the key of C?? please help im desperate to figure out how i can play this song on piano and sing at the same time!
A. Key of F = Key of C

How do you lengthen your hand span?
Q. In one song I am playing on the piano there is a chord that is about 10 keys apart (An C and a E, left hand). My hand span is only about 9 keys. If possible, can I change it so I can hit the 10th key? And if not so, what can I do about that chord?
A. I have played piano for about 7 years and over time playing scales and streching my hands with other songs i have found that that helps, but it takes a long time. A lot of times guys have larger hand spans than girls so the song that you are trying to play was proably written by a guy my piano teacher says that when you can't reach them, either drop one of the lesser important notes for example if you are play e and c in the left hand and a and c in the right hang you could drop the bottom c. or just do them quickly in succession. Hopefully i helped you
