piano chords?

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
I was on your side when nobody could hold us down

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

Original Question

What is a G(4) piano chord?
Q. I was practicing some chords on my music and ran across a G(4) I've never seen it written like this. Does anyone know how to play it on piano?

A. It's a G chord with a 4th (a C) added. It's an 'open' chord (no 3rd, so no B or Bb in the chord), so it must be resolved going to another chord.

Have a good time!!

Original Question

What notes are in a G-7 chord on the piano?
Q. I know that a normal G7 chord is G, B, D, and F, but what is a G-7 chord? I saw it in a jazz Christmas music book and a normal G7 sounds odd.

A. In jazz music, the G-7 is simply a "G minor seventh chord".

The G-7 or G minor seventh chord is composed of the notes of: G, B-flat, D, and F.

The G-7 and G7 are the same except that the G-7 has a lowered 3rd.
