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
GBG DFD DFD

piano chords??
Q. who knows piano chords here by numbers it's fingering...i don't know how to play it with notes so i prefer to have it on numbers,,not numerals but numbrs..like 2345345367
A. There are numeric ways you can build chords - counting keys.
For example, a major fifth is root note, then 4 keys up, then 3 keys up. (key = half-step)
A minor fifth is root note, then 3 keys up, then 4 keys up.
A 7th is root, then 4 keys, then 3 keys, then 3 keys.
A major 7th is root, then 4 keys, then 3 keys, then 4 keys.
You can use this sort of technique to get your hands used to building the chords - at some point, visual and muscle memory will take over. You may also find it helps to group chords by their hand shapes - e.g. C, F, and G major 5ths are 1-3-5 on the white keys, D, E, and A have the 3rd finger on a black key, and B is weird (3 and 5 are both on black keys).
A major scale is whole whole half whole whole whole half.
A whole step is 2 keys - a half step is 1 key.
Try it out! Whatever technique you use to learn and memorize - practice it!
what are the piano chords for today my life begins by bruno mars?
Q.
A. Chords are chords. Piano or guitar, it doesn't matter. The names of the chords are the same. The chords on ultimate-guitar are pretty much correct. http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/bruno_mars/today_my_life_begins_crd_995144id_13102010date.htm There's one place where I hear a difference: on the line "life's to short to have regrets" the Em should be a G.
So here you have the guitar chords. All you need to know is how to play the same chord names on piano and you're all set.
