Pop song writing help?

Q. Can someone either give me a basic chord progression/ melody for piano or give me any tips?

A. Most pop songs contain the chords of C major (CEG) G major (GBD) and D major (DF#A). These are pretty much the basis for anything you hear in the charts. Tips wise, make a mind map including mood, instruments, structure and influences. This can often start you thinking and get your creativity flowing. Also, spend 15 minutes just messing around on your piano and that is the golden time when you come up with all your ideas.
Good Luck :)

Original Question

for Foreigner "cold as ice" on the piano,?
Q. what are the cords that are played with the left hand?
can you give me the cords in this form
1st:c#df (made up chord)
I mean right hand! But you can go on and post the left to.. just seperate them

A. Here you have the chords along with the lyrics (see first link below). I got that from a guitar tab website, so I'm not sure which hand it is (I'm a guitarist myself). Maybe the video in the second link can help you further...

Original Question

Little confused over the "V7 chords," Help please :)?
Q. Ok,

I got two questions. I'm gonna pick G: and we are assuming that I read notes from bottom to top. The V7 chord is DF#C but my piano book says to move all the notes except the root down an octave so it will sound better and play easier. From that we got the notes: F#CD

First question, is the latter chord some type of inversion? (I don't think its 1st or 2nd inversion)

Final question, a melody is in G: if it uses the I, IV, and V7 chords the most? Or is it I, IV, and V? Confused and thanks so much guys!


Have a good day now, thanks.

A. hi

Q1 = D/F#

Q2= the V chord and the V7 is the same just that the V7 has a extra note (b7) so its optional

more info:
ok so if you look at the chord on the 5th (V7) degree of the G major scale:

Gmajor scale G A B C D E F#
Chords from this scale

I)Gmaj7
II)Am7
III)Bm7
IV)Cmaj7
V7)D7
VI)Em7
VII)F#m7b5


D7 (V7)=
1 3 5 b7
D F# A C
(you are not playing the A but this is correct)

2nd Inversion=

D/F#
3 5 b7 1
F# A C D

hope u understand it confuses me too sometimes!
