Q. I'm learning to play a song on the keyboard and i got the chords from the net. The problem is that there is only 'C', 'Am', 'F' etc written over the line of the song. What i want to know is have i to play only the chord cause if thats it then its just not sounding right. i'm really confused how you play it. eg.
Gm Dm

Is dat all i'm supposed 2 play?
A. The composer of the chord symbols would have intended that the piece be written for guitar, yes, but if you intend to sing along with it whilst playing it on the keyboard, try, in your left hand, (don't just play the chords, as it can sound "perky or plain" on a keyboard with voice), try to play the the broken chord of Gm, but use {G, Bflat, G}, going up the scale. Play those three notes before the words and sustain them while you're singing, or play them whilst you sing the "I was".
For the D minor, again, for keyboard and voice, don't just play the simple chord{D,Natural,A}, but play the broken chord (one after the other, in quick succession or slowly) with the notes {D, Fnatural, D} or {D, A, D}, going up, repeated or sustained for the length of the rest of the phrase, whatever your liking.
But with the change between the two chords, Either play the Gminor broken chord before the "I was" while sustained (held down), or quickly, or sing the first two words slower to fit the three notes. Then, play the lower D whilst you sing the "on", then follow it with the F natural or A then D, repeated or just held while you sing the rest.
I hope that's not too complicated, but it should work.
see what you think.
Eg. -Note, the letters are notes, not chords, and the B is a B flat note, the F an F natural
GBG DFD DFD

Is G C E G considered a piano chord? If so, what would it be called?
Q. Any other information or tips are also helpful and appreciated. On a side note, what would the best way be to learn and memorize/ understand all the piano chords?
I know that C E G is C major, and E G C is C major 1st inversion, etc. but what would the chord with an extra G be called? (btw, when writing out the chords on top of sheet music...[not as notes in the staff], how would you write in that the chord is an inversion?) Would you just write Cmaj 1st inversion?
A. It could also be written as C/G which means a C major chord with a G in the bass.
I need help with G minor piano chords?
Q. One of the well known chords in G minor with the piano is GM, E flat, B flat, F. I want the chord to go down again after the B flat instead of up, what chord do I use?
I don't actually play the piano but I know what the chord would sound like, so as you can imagine it would be very hard for me to work out. This is for a composition I am making
Thanks, please note all possible chords that would go down after that!
I'm playing in G minor which isn't jazzy lol, but thanks :)
A. I don't know what you're trying to sound like, but here are some jazzy/gospel sounding chords.
Key: Left Hand / Right Hand
â I would use an Am 7 #5 after the Bb back to the Gm.
Am 7 #5: G-D-F / G-C-F
â Also after the Bb, I would use an A half dim 7 chord back to the G.
LH: A-C# / RH: F#-A-C-Eb
â Or a ii-V-i back to Gm from the Bb.
Am7 b5 â D #5#9 â Gm
Am7 b5: A-C# / G-C-Eb
D #5#9: D-A-C / F#-Bb-C-F
I hope this helps.
