Q. I've played for 8 years, but I only know how to read sheet music, and I don't have time to learn to read chords before i play next. Please help??
A. You mean to say that you can't read chord symbols? Like G7 F#m Bb7(#9) etc?
You've been playing 8 years and you can't do that??!?! No offense, but what have you been learning? Getting by for 8 years without a basic understanding of how music is constructed... I just can't understand that. Do you even know how to play your major scales? If not, learn that... NOW! You're way behind.
If you can play your major scales, it's not that hard to understand how chords are made.

This is a chart of chord formulas I made. My first guitar teacher gave me something like this my second lesson, and it gave me a HUGE leg up on my peers. Actually understanding music is crucial to giving a moving performance. Otherwise what you're doing is no different than someone reading a poem in a language they don't speak.
If you play two octaves of any major scale, number each note on the way up (you really only need to go up to 13 though). Then, to play any type of chord, you just play the notes the formula says. SO a major chord is 1 3 5. In C, this would end up being the notes C E and G. Any combination of C E and G is a C major chord. Some of the chords have alterations to a specific note, for example, a dominant 7th chord is 1 3 5 b7. So you would take the normal 7th, and flat it. In C, this would result in C E G and Bb.
Get it? Good.
That chord chart should give you plenty to work with. Seriously though, playing for 8 years and you couldn't play an F7 if somebody asked? There's something wrong with that... I'm not saying that you've failed, but your teachers have definitely failed you.
piano chords or sheet music for this song...?
Q. "the only one" by paul mac and bertie black man.
its from the movie hey hey its esther blueburger.
i would love either piano chords. possible sheet music, any notes, and maybe even guitar chords for this song as i have looked EVERYWHERE and not been able to find a bloody thing!
thanks a tone :)

A. You know that is a very simple song. I would be willing to bet yo that if you just sat down at the piano and played the song that you could figure out all the chords for it. All those chords sound to me to be simple major, minor and 7th chords. I never learned how to read sheet music. But I did learn all the chords on the guitar. So, from the chord symbols (or by ear) I can pretty much play anything. You can too! It's good to know how to read sheet music but, you are capable of way more than that. If you were start with this song and try to figure it out on your own, I know you could do it in less than an hour and have all the chords correct. That would get your started. Soon you wold find that there is no song you can't play. If you can get the sheet music for a song, that's great. But, if you can't, it will no longer mean that you won't be able to play.
