What the piano chords to Better that we break by maroon 5?

Q. Just need to piano chords! thanks :) 10 points!

A. Chords are chords regardless of the instrument. For that reason, it can be helpful to look at guitar sites because they're so popular.

Check out the link. You get to see the chord names over the lyrics. You just need to know how to play the chords on piano, that's all. (Hopefully you've got a good understanding of triads and inversions).

Original Question

How do you read piano tabs and guitar tabs? And where do you get them?
Q. I have a talent show comming up and i need a good website for tabs and i would like for someone to explain to me how to understand piano tabs and guitar tabs...ok i know to get guitar tabs but i have no clue on how to read or find piano tabs and guitar tabs...PLEASEE HELP ME

A. Guitar tabs are simple. Take this for example:

E- 0------ E - -----------
B- 0h2--- B - ----------
G- 1------ G - ----------
D- 2------ D - 2/5--5\2
A- 2------ A - 2/5--5\2
E- 0------ E - -----------

The first an E Major chord, with an extra note hammered on. You read the letters as the strings, from the Bottom to Top: The 6th to the 1st: The thickest to the thinnest. The numbers are the frets you put your fingers on, 0 being an open string, 1 being the space in between the first two metal bars, and so on. The h signifies a Hammer-on/legato from the open position to the 2nd fret, generally with the pinky.. To learn more about Hammer-ons/Pull-offs look them up on youtube.
The second is a slide from an A power chord to a C. / means you slide up the neck, so left if you're left handed, and right if you're right handed, and the \ means you slide back down. If you don't know how to slide, look them up on youtube also.
Other common things seen in tabs:

4 4
* or PM = Palm Muted note
x = Left hand muted note
( ) = Ghost note (Optional Note)
2b3 = String Bend (Played from the second fret, bent to raise pitch to 3rd fret)
7* = Harmonic note (Usually explained or self explained)
T = Tapped Note (Sometimes Tremolo Picked note, watch out what the tab says)
////////// or \\\\\\\\\\\\ = Pick slide

3
A - 4-5-6 = The 3 signifies a triplet note

Any other things should be explained in the tablature somewhere. If you do not understand these techniques, look them up on youtube. I hope this helped.

Original Question

Is there an easy method to switch chords from guitar to piano?
Q. So I've been playing the guitar for a few years and, I can play quite a few songs. I play them just by chords mostly but picking here and there. But anyway I was wondering if there is a way to transfer those chords over to piano. The chord name remains the same correct? But what about if I have a capo on the guitar on the 3rd or 5th fret, then how do the chords transfer?
Thank you

A. The EASY ANSWER would be to get a piano chord chart book, look up the guitar chords you want to play on the piano in the index, and play away. But did you ever hear the adage: "Feed a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat forever"? Well, read on....here's the honest to goodness truthful answer to your question:
.
Do you know how chords are constructed? Knowing this is the key. It doesn't matter where the capo is on the guitar: if you are playing a Cm7 chord, the notes in that chord are going to be the same no matter WHERE you play the chord on the guitar. It doesn't matter if you play an open chord, a barre chord, an inverted chord, etc. A Cm7 is always going to include the following notes:
C-E-G-Bb no matter where you play it.
Chords are built from scales. Scales are made of intervals.
It would be easy for you to play the chords you play on the guitar on the piano if you understood music theory a bit, especially intervals and scales.
You should also learn what intervals of which scales create what chords (sound confusing? This is a year of theory, minimum.).
Here are the intervals that create basic chords:
Major: 1-3-5
minor: 1-b3-5
dominant 7th: 1-3-5-b7
MAJOR 7th: 1-3-5-7
.
All you need to know is what intervals / specific notes make up each chord; where those notes are located on an instrument and the proper way to hold the chord, and you're set. It doesn~t matter what instrument you are playing-- a Cm7 is a Cm7 is a Cm7.
.
Thatms music theory. It's all formulas and patterns. It seems impossible to comprehend in the beginning, but once you catch on and grasp where chords come from, a whole new musical world will open up for you.
I taught myself piano because I understood the theory behind chord construction....even before I taught myself to read and write music. You can do it to! :)
