What are some minor piano chords that sound good?

Q. Scary or haunting that sound proffesional

A. All of them?

The joke is that every minor chord on a modern piano is the same shape (that wasn't always true, by the way). The chords' feeling depends on what key you're in. For instance, in the key of A minor, a C# minor chord would be very surprising (and probably not sound very good), but the key of F# minor, it's pretty tame.

Maybe what you're looking for is a sequence of chords. A lot of Renaissance and Baroque composers liked something called a "lament bass" for a sad sound. Try playing A, G, F, E in the bass. You can put different chords on top of it, like: Am, G, F, E, or even sadder, Am, Em/G, Dm/F, E. Or, for the chord over F, try an F half-diminished 7th--that's an Fm with an Eb added. Experiment with it!

By the way, the "scariest" chords are diminished 7ths. For a "haunting" sound, just play several in a row.

Original Question

where can i find piano chords for songs?
Q. ok so i cant read music sheets so i would like just the notes you have to play. i tried asking this question yesterday and it wasn't very successful.
any information would be much appreciated :]

A. Checkout guitar books. One for sure that would help, is called the "fake" book. It has the chord names above the lyrics. Throughout the entire songs. You will need to know your piano chord shapes though! Print out a chord chart, that's how I got started.

Original Question

Guitar chords to piano?
Q. Okay so I wrote I song, and I started with my acoustic guitar first with capo on 3rd fret. But I want to play the same exact chords on piano... and the chords on 3rd fret would sound different then without. If you get what I mean? It's hard and confusing what I'm saying, I hope someone understands ahaha but anyways please help! These are the guitar chords I used with the capo on 3rd fret that I'd want changed into piano chords:
- Am
- C
- Em
- G
- Dm
- E

A. Don't mean to sound rude, but you really need some basic theory. I'm afraid you'll waste an unbelievably amount of time if you don't figure out basic stuff like this.

I take it that the chords you're mentioning here are the chord shapes, right? If that's the case, then the same chords on the third fret will be: Am -> Cm; C -> Eb; Em -> Gm; G -> Bb; Dm -> Fm; E -> G

If you're uncertain about the notes in each chord, then just Google the chords - a chord is the same (have the same notes) on any instrument.
