Q. i'm trying to learn a song on piano but i can only find the guitar chords to it. i would like to know how you play the notes out of the chords. thank you
A. Depends on the printed layout you've got for the song in question. If you just have the little grids with pictures, it can be harder to match the chords with note letter names. But if you have the names of the chords, it's best to learn to "fake" the chords on the piano, rather than try to play the exact guitar chord notes on the piano.
If you try to duplicate the notes of the chord on the keyboard, it'll work; but it won't sound as good on the piano as on the guitar. Guitar melody chords are already inverted and voiced to sound good when you're singing along, but they sound thin and incomplete when transferred to a keyboard, which is capable of much more complex chords than your average guitar player's fingers can handle. It's a question of digits: 4 on the fretboard for most guitar chords, vs. up to ten (!) to help you accompany a singer on the keyboard (not to mention what you can do with the pedals).
Learning to fake the chords and picking good voicings on the piano keyboard to make the song work is an art unto itself. It's not quite playing by ear, although there's some of that involved as you advance to alternative voicings and inversions.
If you can read music (and know basic keyboard notes), and you know scales, then you've got a good start on faking chords already. You can pick up the basics in 4 or 5 lessons with a keyboard teacher, or you can get a beginner teach-yourself chord piano book (sometimes listed as "adult" piano methods--self guided or otherwise) and go at your own pace.
Here's a good site for some general information: http://www.pianochordfinder.org/html/piano_chord_charts_flash_8.php (Note: I'm not affiliated with this website, nor did I take any information from it. It looks well done and simple, though)
How do you turn guitar tabs into piano chords / notes?
Q. I want to learn a song on the piano, but there's only tabs and chords for the guitar.
A. its a pretty simple process but its time consuming. you need to find a site that has a complete layout of the notes on a guitar, and the tabs you found.
take every note on the tab and traslate it into an actual note on the website you find, and then locate that on the piano's keyboard and write the music down like that.
ive done this before myself, and if you'd be interested i could find a guitar note layout like i said and e-mail it to you.
its a very helpfu; process to any musician. translation is a key thing to anyone who plans on becoming a composer (not saying you are but its a nice skill to have)

A. Hi, good question and I'm glad to help.
What you're seeing is a scheme of chords which sound good together and make the song sound the way it does. If you played these chords and sang "Hey Jude", it would sound like the song.
If you click each chord name (Eb, Bb7, etc.), you will see a code that shows you what notes you should play on the keyboard to make the chord. If you find the place on your keyboard where it looks like that picture, you should be able to find where the chords are.
Good luck and hope I helped.â¥
