Q. i have a piano chart at home that says C chord is G, C, and E (in that order). but i've learned that C is C, E, and G. they are the same letters, but different locations on the keyboard.i'm trying to write a song, but now i don't know how to teach my singer or guitarist what key or chord it's in because i'm so confused. is there a difference?
A. The chord is just a compilation of notes in the key of c. The key means that the music is based on 7 specific notes.
Ex. key of c-- C,D,E,F,G,A,B
Wrong chords for the key?
Q. I play piano for my youth group at church and I'm trying to get better. I'm trying to learn the chords that can be played within a key. I've been confused by two songs lately. One song was in the key of F, but had a G chord regularly in it. I don't understand why because the b should be flatted in the chord. The answer may be obvious, but why is this?
A. songs can borrow chords from outside the key. A G chord usually goes to a C major chord, and C major is the V chord in F major. So even tho the song is in F, it can temporarily use this "out of key" chord of G to lend some interest to the chord progression because the G goes back to C, which is in the key that the rest of the song is in.

A. I have a couple of questions for you:
1. Why is a beginning piano player trying to play chords in all 12 keys? That seems pretty advanced.
2. Why is a saxophone player worried about piano chords when a saxophone only plays single notes?
Here is partial answer to your question:
C Major Chord: C E G
c minor chord: C Eflat G
c diminished chord: C Eflat Gflat
C augmented chord: C E G sharp
