Q. I already play guitar well and understand theroy/chord construcion. I am not trying to be great or anything...just good enough to play pop and rock songs. I'll eventually switch off between playing guitar and keys when I play live. I thinking of getting a keyboard with built in lessons. I'll probaly put in an hour a day.
Thanks in advance
How long before I can play halfway decent.
A. As long as you have a good concept of theory it's only a matter of practice. Beautiful thing about the piano: you can see what you're doing. Put in a solid hour a day and you'll be somewhat competent in a month.
How and when would I use piano chords?
Q. For the past month I've been memorizing a bunch of piano chords, and it donned on me...when would I ever use these? I've seen sheet music with the symbols above the notes but I don't get it...how do I use them? The more information, the better, and thank you (:
A. It amazes me when I hear someone say they are memorizing piano chords. You really don't have to memorize them, when playing you construct the chord on the fly. After gaining some playing experience your hands will automatically configure them self to play them.
As far as when to play a chord, and which chord to play, and in what sequence to play them in is again gained from experience. You need basic theory knowledge in order to analyze a piece of music, i.e., major scales, chord type to play on each scale degree, how to play around the circle of 5ths/4ths. You really don't need in depth knowledge of this but just the basics so that you understand what the music is doing and why.
Anyhow go here for the answer to your question...

Oh and by the way, use this website to get the bare-bones knowledge needed. You can learn how to construct a major chord and realize all the other chords are nothing more than an alteration of and/or add-ons to the major chord
Good Luck
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).
