What piano chord do they play at the start of "One is the Loneliest Number" by Three Dog Night?

Q. The song starts out with the same note being played on the piano, what is it? I've been trying to figure it out.

A. The chords for the first 4 bars are (assuming one chord per quarter note in 4/4):

C
Ab
F

played 8 times in the intro, followed by

C
Ab
F

(same chord) 4 times and

Eb
C
Ab

4 times etc.

In other words, the intro has the F minor chord (F-Ab-C) played 8 times, then the vocals begin on this same F minor chord played 4 times followed by the Ab major chord (Ab-C-Eb) played 4 times.

I think it is was a wise move to come here for such technical a question ;)

Hope that helps!

Regards

What piano chords make a good lullaby song?
Q. I am trying to write a song and am wondering if anyone knew chords that produced that sleepy wonderful sound. Thanks so much!

A. Well, you'd have to choose a scale first, a good scale would be G major or C major. In G major, whenever you play "C" or "F", you change the not to a sharp. Some chords you could use include G, B, D, or C, E, G (the most simple chord), but you should experiement different key combinations.

Good lullaby chords usually use three keys each spread out by one note.

So in taking piano what the heck is the difference between a major and minor note?
Q. So people are always talking about major and minor notes and chords and I know what a chord is but what the heck like how would you play a minor F compared to a major F on the piano it's AHH! lol help??

A. Lol you have to play an F chord

Do you know the F scale? A major chord is when you play the first, third, and fifth note of the scale. In the key of F, those notes are F, A, and C.

A minor is when you flat the 3rd, or middle not of the cord. So instead of playing an A you would play an A flat as well as the F below it and the C above it!

Tadaa! Remember the key signature when you play chords!
