How to play this chord on the piano?

Q. A song I want to play on the piano has the chord Bm/D. I'm pretty sure it's a guitar chord but I think it can be played on the piano, right? Can anybody tell me the notes and the order they go in? Thanks!

A. Bm/D is simply B-D-F# with an added bass D note.

Original Question

Can you please give me the piano chords for Through It All by Hillsong United?
Q. I really, really need it for school. Just a simple one will do. I don't know how to read guitar chords/ tabs so i cannot translate it. PLEASE.

A. Will this work? http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/h/hillsongs/through_it_all_crd.htm Technically, they're guitar chords, but chords are built the same way. Just know how the chords are built.

G: G-B-D
D/F#: D-F#-A (with an added bass F#)
Emsus (Basically Em): E-G-B
C9 (or C2): C-D-E-G
D: D-F#-A
Bm: B-D-G#

Original Question

How do notes on the piano relate to notes on guitar when using a capo?
Q. I'm trying to play a song on guitar with the capo on the second fret with the chords F, Am, G, and E. I don't fluently play piano so I don't know much about it. If I was trying to play those chords on the piano to match the ones played with a capo, what should I do differently? It just doesn't sound right.

A. When you use the capo, you raise the chords by a half step for each fret. That means that the F chord you're fingering actually is G on a piano..or even the guitar for that matter. If you move each of your chords up two frets, they become:
F â G
Am â Bm
G â A
E â F#

Do you understand what the capo does? It allows you to change key without changing the fingering of the chords. For convenience, we often refer to the capoed chords as "shapes" rather than chords. The F "shape" that you're playing with the capo on the second fret is really no longer an F. The capo converted it to a G. If you moved the capo up one fret, the same F shape would become a G#. I don't know if I made this any clearer or not.....it's always a bit difficult to explain.

Anyway, your piano chords should be G, Bm, A and F#
