How do you convert guitar chords to Piano notes?
Q. I am needing to know how to convert guitar chords to piano notes. I need to know how to do this because sometimes when our band plays music we can only find guitar chords and i need the notes for piano. like i need these guitar chords as piano notes. (G#5, C5, A#5, D#5)
A. Well, there are two ways -
the first is to find the chord on your guitar and find the notes that each finger is on. So, using your G#5 chord - your index finger is on the 4th fret, low E string, your ring finger is on the 6th fret, A string. So you count up on the guitar itself - G# on the pointer, D# on the ring. So, the G#5 chord is G# and D#. You will need to know the chord shapes to do this, as well as the step differences between notes to count right.
The second is to use music theory. Every chord (with the exception of power chords) uses 3 or more notes. The most basic chord is called a triad. It consists of a root note, 3rd, and 5th. If you know the scale that you are using, find the note you want, then move up two notes for your 3rd, and another for your 5th. For example, lets say your are in the key of G major and I needed to know the Amin chord. The scale is G A B C D E F# G. So i'd start on A, my 3rd would be C and my 5th would be E. ACE. For "5"/power chords, do the same thing, but only count the 5th note. So, your C5 would be a C and a G.
The above method ONLY works if you use notes and chords inside of a scale. An example of how this won't work - in the G major scale, the "A" chord is minor, or Amin. If you were to try to use this for the AMaj chord, you would get the wrong notes.
For the triads, there is another way to find the notes: the fifth is always 7 half-steps from the root. In a minor chord, the 3rd is 3 half-steps away from the root. In a major chord, the 3rd is 4 steps from the root. For example, you'd find the Gmaj chord like this: the root, G, would be zero.......1-g# 2-a 3-a# 4-B......B is your major 3rd. 1-g# 2-a 3-a# 4-b 5-c 6-c# 7-D.......D your 5th. Your GMajor chord is GBD.
If I confused you - I'm sorry. Music theory is not the easiest thing to explain or understand. It is all mathematics and rules.......way too many rules to explain w/o writing a book.
Chord note help- piano/guitar players please?!?
Q. Okay, I have some chords in a song in a hymn book and I here's what I'd like.
(I'm only a singer, and my keyboard doesn't have the name of every chord.)
1) transpose these chords into the key of C major and
2) what are the new chord names and their notes?:
A flat
E flat 7
D flat 6
thank you in advance!
I asked specifically for the NOTES of the new chord!
I know that C is C E G...
A. Assuming these are all major chords, you can figure this out for yourself, and thus, learn how to transpose a song.
Ab Bb C Db Eb F G = Ab major scale
C D E F G A B C = C major scale
If Ab = C, and Eb = G then
Db = X.
Clue: Ab is four half-steps ABOVE C. Note that the same is true for the Eb to G transposition.
You figure out "X."
