Q. This may be a dumb question, but im quite confused.
I know the notes, and everything about the music sheet, but i dont know
if we are supposed to play ex. "A" chord for the "A" note which is on the music sheet.
Do we play the A Bar on the piano or the whole A Chord for the "A" note on the music sheet?
A. no, if they write the note A, all they want is the note A, and it needs to be in the octave it is written in, if they want the whole chord, they will write all the notes in a vertical stack.
if there are chord symbols above the staff, then you would interpret them as chords, but the notes on the staff are very specific, and let the composer show the exact voicing they might want for a chord.
the chord symbols are used in "lead sheet notation" to give the performer more of an option to play their own choice of voicings.
how to transfer piano chords to guitar chords?
Q. I need to switch a piano chord pattern of C - A - F - G to guitar chords.. how do i do it... i tried by doing it the exact same way on guitar but it doesnt sound the same... any suggestions?
A. A C major chord is a C major chord is a C major chord!
Play C major on the piano or the guitar, you're still playing the same chord. The exact order of the notes may be different, but those different voicings make each instrument unique. It's still just a bunch of C's E's and G's.
When playing a chord progression on the piano do we play the same notes with both hands?
Q. I'm confused, I learning the 1 4 5 chord progression and I dont understand what I'm suppose to be doing with my left hand?
A. There are thousands of different ways to voice any particular chord - and all of them are equally correct. Learning different inversions and larger and smaller voicings of your chords will be an essential part of your education as a musician
However, a good place to start is by playing each chord in closed triad position (each note just one skip away from the other) with your right hand, and playing just the root note of the chord with your left. So, this:
RH - 5G - 5C - 5D - 5G
RH - 3E - 3A - 3B - 3E
RH - 1C - 1F - 1G - 1C
LH - 5C - 2F - 1G - 5G
Notice your RH fingering remains 135 on each chord while your left hand uses a more connective fingering. The next logical step after that is to learn how to invert the IV and V chords in order to connect the inner voicing better. So, this:
RH - 5G - 5G - 5A - 4G
RH - 3E - 2D - 3F - 2E
RH - 1C - 1B - 1C - 1C
LH - 5C - 2F - 1G - 5C
Note that this voicing uses the same identical note names as in the first excerpt, but they're rearranged this time and spelled in a different order (BDG instead of GBD). This is called playing the chord in an inversion. When learning this new excerpt, try to connect your fingers smoothly whenever possible, for example, connect the 3E in the first chord smoothly to the 2D in the second. And as always, connect your bass notes smoothly throughout.
