Q. i quit my lessons before i finished grade 3. and how do i learn to play by ear?
and and and, how long does it take to learn guitar by using a book? a year?
A. Piano chords are very easy to learn. They are patterns that are not that difficult. Know which ones are which takes time. It can be easy to hear the difference between major and minor, but may take time to recognize diminished 7th and such.
I suggest that you go back to taking lessons. I would also suggest that you take guitar lessons as well. Chords on the guitar are a little tricky to pick out by accident. Lessons are usually fair priced.
How long does it take to learn the guitar? Well, a good instructor can have you playing a song in minutes. There is a very simple song that uses E A and D using half chords that can be learned in minutes. To become good at the guitar takes years.
what is a piano chord ????
Q. what is a piano chord and why do you need to learn it
A. A chord is multiple notes sounding (or being played) together. Chords built in thirds are collectively referred to as tertian harmony.
A major chord is built by taking a major third (e.x. C and E) and placing a minor third (E to G) on top. A major third is always made up of two notes 4 half steps apart (C to C# to D to D# to E is four half steps). A minor third is always 3 half steps apart (E to F to F# to G is three 1/2 steps).
A minor chord is built by taking a minor third (like G an Bb) and placing a major third on top (Bb to D).
An easy way to find the parallel minor chord from a major chord is to simply lower the middle tone a half step.
By raising the top note by a half step on a major chord, (thus you have a major third stacked onto another major third) you come up with an augmented triad.
If you lower the top note of a minor triad you have two minor thirds on top of each other, and this is a diminished triad.
This is just some of the basics of chord structure... there's a LOT more.
It's important to understand chord structure because that's what almost all instrumental and choral music from Bach on up (until the 20th century and 12-tone series and stuff) is based on. Chord structure and progressions are absolutely necessary in the analysis of music.
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!
