Q. So I recently started messing around on the piano, and I learned the basic chords. I'm a little confused though, because on a guitar a C chord or an F minor is 5 or 6 notes (strings), but on a piano it's just 3 keys. How are they even the same chords?
It's bothering because you can just finger pick a few chords and it sounds nice (despite being ridiculously easy) but it sounds goofy on a piano with only 3 keys...
A. Alright, let's go over a little bit of theory here that applies to both piano and guitar.
You have eight whole tones in a single scale. This is basic. There's C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. Now, let's number them.
C - 1
D - 2
E - 3
F - 4
G - 5
A - 6
B - 7
C - 8
In any regular major chord, the notes are 1, 3, 5, and 8 - generally. There are some exceptions including accidentals and different inversions but I'd prefer not to get into too much detail about things like that.
In other words, this means C, E, G, and C.
On a regular classical, acoustic, or electric guitar, there are six strings... but the reason why you hear six notes are because you can't simply hit three strings with one strum. (You could, but guitar strings don't work that way and won't sound that way if you try.)
Notice that a C chord (as stated earlier) is C, E, G, and C.
There are two C's. In other words, there are actually only three notes in a C major basic chord.
When you play guitar, you actually hit a note more than once. I'm not going to go pick up my own guitar and test to see which notes are played exactly, but there might be two C's, two E's, and two G's... something like that. They all belong to the C major chord, and therefore can be accounted as a chord. It also sounds richer because there are more notes in different octaves.
When you play piano, three notes - C, E, G - obviously sound very plain. But if you try playing C, E, G, C, E, G with both of your hands in different octaves, the sound is much more richer and fuller. The reason why the piano may sound plain is because that's the initial chord. You can play as many C's, E's, and G's you want, and it'll sound like a C chord. What makes a richer tone is how many notes in the chord you play, as well as which octaves you play in.
Hope I helped!
let it be piano chords?
