Piano chords in the key of E???

Q. Ok, so what chords are in the key of E in piano if you are making a song. If it is just E chords, why is it different for guitar? The chords in Guitar key of E are: E, Fm#, Gm#, A, B, and Cm#. I need a little help here!!!

A. Chords are chords and they don't change depending on instrument. Sometimes the name of the chord changes if you are working with a transposing instrument, (Trumpet, Clarinet, Saxophone, French Horn etc.) but it is still the same chord.

The common chords in the key of E are

E - Tonic or I chord

A - Subdominant or IV chord

B / B7 - Dominant or V chord

C#min / C#min7 - Submediant or vi chord

F#min- supertonic or ii chord

D# / D#7 / D# half Diminished - Sobtonic or vii chord

A couple Common Chord Progressions

E / C#min7 / F#min7 / B7 (One SIx Two Five Chord)

E / A / B7 (one four five chord)

E / F#min7 / B / B7 ( One, Two, Five, Five seven chord)

The trick with Piano is to keep the root and fifth of the chords in the bass, the color tones in the center or upper range of the keyboard, and if you are playing with a bass and other rhythm instruments, less is more.

Most people put triads in the left hand when they are starting out on piano and then complain when it sounds all muddy. The sound waves are literally bumping into each other, so you can't really blame the instrument. You got eighty eight keys and ten fingers, so you got to give the sound some room to breath. I hope I have answered your question and I wish the you the best. I stuck a couple quick links below that may help to reinforce what I wrote here.

Original Question

Help me name these chords! (Correct piano chords please)?
Q. Hello! Please help me on these chords I have made! I can't figure out the names... it's on piano. Here are the notes in each chord:
D# G Bb D# (Whole chord)
D G Bb D
C F G# C
D F G# C
D F G# C
Bb D F
I hope this made sense... Thank you!

A. The first is D# (D# major), more often known as Eb (Eb major). (You should avoid mixing flats and sharps in the same chord.)
Then you've got Gm (G minor) in 2nd inversion.
The next is Fm (F minor) in 2nd inversion (and you'd normally spell it with Ab, not G#)
Then you've got Dø7 (D half diminished seventh). Again, you'd use Ab, not G#. You can also call this Dm7(b5), which is D minor seventh with a flat fifth.
Then you repeat it.
The last one is Bb (Bb major).

It makes no difference that it's on piano. Chords are chords.
