Q. I'm trying to teach myself piano chords, I don't understand though where to play them on the keyboard though, example "C" chord how do i know which c to play?
Edit: I mean is there a way to tell which octave to play it in for a specific song etc
A. If you are following chord symbols on sheet music then these chords are normally played in the left hand. If you use a keyboard or organ then you can play chords with the left hand with an auto chord feature which will add a bass note to your chord. Try this chord tutorial on youtube which shows you how to play major, minor, seventh and minor seventh chords:

Also have a look at the PDF chordbook that goes with this tutorial which has 48 basic chords, showing which notes to play and what finger numbers to use:

Guitar / Piano chords for D?
Q. I'm new to guitar, don't know how to put this. When I'm playing a song in D, what other chords are suitable to be played along side D? List each one of them please, especially the jazz chords!
I just picked up the guitar yesterday so the only ones I know for D are A & G haha so I appreciate the help. Thanks! :)
A. Hello there,
Here is a link to a chord progression generator. You can use it to find various combinations of chords. For instance, you want to play in D. You can check out the I 4 5 1 progression. You can hear how it sounds and see what the chords are. Since you are just starting, you may not know what the 1 4 5 1 means. You don't need to at this point. The numbers refer to the root note (1) in this case D, the 4th note up the scale and the 5th note up the scale. Don't get hung up on that aspect. You will pick up the theory in time. For now, use try select different progressions to see how they sound. If you like them, use them. A easy way to experiment on chord progressions without understanding music theory.

Also, here is a link to a chord chart. It is a pdf file and several pages long. Just down load the pdf file to your computer. Whenever you want to see what the fingering is for any chord, you can find it on the chart.

Q. Are there any websites with a extensive listing of chords; (guitar and/or piano) in different chord progressions that show the chords diagrams?
Ideally looking for pages and pages of COMPATIBLE chords (guitar and/ or piano) listed in synchronized harmony ?
A. Hello there,
Here is a link to a chord progression generator. Just select a key and the progression you want. It shows you the chords in that progression.
