Q. Okay, so I wanted to play this song, and when I downloaded the "sheet music" for the song, it turned out to be chords.
The introduction went: Bsus4 F#sus4 G#m F#
I can read sheet music, but I don't know how to make the chords into actual notes. How are you supposed to put it into melody, and how do you know which notes are right hand, and which are left?
And, a bigger problem. The first chord says Bsus4 which is B, E, and F#.
But, when I look at the tutorial for the song I want to play, the first notes are, B F# B.
Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how to make these piano chords into a song?
A. Sounds like you found a lead sheet?
A lead sheet usually has the right hand melody line and then left hand chords on the top of the melody.
To read this, you have to find out exactly which individual notes are included in the chord scale. Basically you have to find out the key signature of each of the chords.
For your "bigger problem" ...its still the same chord only an inversion of it.
This is sorta complicated to explain right now because this sounds a little advanced for you right now. Try looking up the sheet music and/or a tutorial for the same song again only looking for the actual notes instead of chords. If you want to learn how to read chords and lead sheets, your gunna hafta study chords a lot more instead of just sheet music.
What is a free place to get Church Music Lead Sheets?
Q. Im trying to learn to play piano by chords, but I still need the melody. Any places to find church music to practice on?
A. most church music is protected by the copyright laws
so they would be illegal to download for free
It would have to in the Public Domain, for it to be free and legal.
Where can I listen to piano chords on the computer?
Q. For example, the computer plays a chord, and then I try to name all the notes in the chord. Is there a software/online program that's like this?
A. http://www.mhhe.com/et7
On this site, you can see ear training exercises and download the mp3's so that you can practice with them. Some of the earlier exercises may not be what you are looking for, but scroll through and you should find some with chords. Even if the exercise isn't meant specifically for you to name each note of the chord, there are several which play chords for you. And the chords are written out in the PDF's (that you can download) so you can check your answers.
Hope this helps you!!! :)
