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
Can you please translate these piano chords, I dont know how to read them?
Q. These are the chords.

A. Ok this is in no way going to teach you how to play piano, but a basic understanding of music theory would help a lot. Chords are structured based on scales and keys yadah yadah. the letters (i.e. A B C D) are root notes to the chords. Now for the symbols. b=flat so Ab= A flat major chord. It's major because is has nothing denoting it's not. anything with a little m next to it is minor. That means that rather than playing the chord major, you drop the third note in the chord down a half step. The 7 means you add in the 7th note in the scale to that chord. # is the opposite of flat. It means sharp, so c# is a C sharp chord. Verse chorus and bridge are self-explanitory. Chords are generally 3-5 notes on average played together. So the first chord on there the Ab chord is an A flat major chord. your root note is Ab, and the other two notes you play are C and Eb I believe. If you don't know the notes on a piano, you need to buy a book. If this makes sense, it should be easier to figure out now. Another note. A major chord consists generally of three or four notes. Your root note, the next note is 4 half steps above that, and the next note is 3 half steps above that.
A minor chord has the root note, the next note is three half steps above that, and the last note is 5 half steps above that. I'm certainly not saying "this is how you play piano". I play, and it's not something you can just pick up and learn, but this should give you somewhat of a better understanding of how to read these charts. If you go out and spend like ten bucks at a local music store, you can get a music theory book that will explain all of this in great detail. btw what song is this?
Hope this helps and good luck.
Piano Question!?
Q. Okay, I'm learning to play the piano because i'm very good at other instruments and felt that would be a good one to figure to learn to play, but heres what happens:
I pick a song and can quickly pick up the melody on the piano but have trouble figuring out which chord to play to complete the sequence or to possible play as an instrumental on my own. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
A. Take a couple lessons, or get a "keyboard chart". You put it behind the piano keys and it shows the chords on the notes.
