A. Ok this is in no way going to teach you how to play piano, but a basic understanding of music theory would help a lot. Chords are structured based on scales and keys yadah yadah. the letters (i.e. A B C D) are root notes to the chords. Now for the symbols. b=flat so Ab= A flat major chord. It's major because is has nothing denoting it's not. anything with a little m next to it is minor. That means that rather than playing the chord major, you drop the third note in the chord down a half step. The 7 means you add in the 7th note in the scale to that chord. # is the opposite of flat. It means sharp, so c# is a C sharp chord. Verse chorus and bridge are self-explanitory. Chords are generally 3-5 notes on average played together. So the first chord on there the Ab chord is an A flat major chord. your root note is Ab, and the other two notes you play are C and Eb I believe. If you don't know the notes on a piano, you need to buy a book. If this makes sense, it should be easier to figure out now. Another note. A major chord consists generally of three or four notes. Your root note, the next note is 4 half steps above that, and the next note is 3 half steps above that.
A minor chord has the root note, the next note is three half steps above that, and the last note is 5 half steps above that. I'm certainly not saying "this is how you play piano". I play, and it's not something you can just pick up and learn, but this should give you somewhat of a better understanding of how to read these charts. If you go out and spend like ten bucks at a local music store, you can get a music theory book that will explain all of this in great detail. btw what song is this?
Hope this helps and good luck.
What is a "C chord" on piano?
Q. I quit piano and never really understood the actual "stuff" Soooooo what is a "c chord" or what is a "chord" ? I don't play any other instruments so yeah. Just for the piano
A. here is a site that might help you....I play piano also and the C chord is the first chord you learn. If you don't like lessons get a book and teach yourself Alfred's basic learning for adults ( they also have one for kids) is great get the theory book too.

Learning Piano?
Q. Hi, my Dad plays piano and even though I've never had any interest I kind of want to get into it. Some people have said it's easy but I would like some direction, but I don't have the money to spend. Anyway, are there any good websites or videos that are free that can teach me the basics?
Thanks
A. First you need to know the notes that include every basic chord. In this web sites are all the chords. Start with learning all the major and minor chords.

Also you can search in YouTube for "learn piano".
Choose any song you want to learn (from pop, rock, ballad...) and search for the chords of that song in the web. The list of chords will appear in the lyrics and you need to play all the notes for every chord.
Only after you learn all the basic chords, you'll be ready for something more advanced.
If you donât know nothing about pianos the worst you can do is to begin with sheet music because itâs very complicated.
For the classic music, eventually you will need to learn sheet music or use MIDI. If you want to learn classical music from MIDIs go to http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtSLHv7nPjVHSYm_NaE6RGbty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080414151247AAfgwff&show=7#profile-info-hoDin3UYaa
