Piano chords...help?!?

Q. Ok i need the letter notes to these chords. Im new to piano and im not to framilier with them. Cm,Eb,Bb,Fm,Ab,Abm,C,B,A,B,F. This would help me soooo much! 10 pts ro best answer

A. Here ya go:

C minor: C Eb G
Eb major: Eb G Bb
Bb major: Bb D F
F minor: F Ab C
Ab major: Ab C Eb
C major: C E G
B major: B D# F#
A major: A C# E
F major: F A C

This is fairly simple stuff. I suggest you watch my videos on chord construction. They are for guitar, but the information is applicable to any instrument.

Original Question

Piano Jazz Chord Trouble?
Q. I've been playing classical piano for ten years now, so i'm pretty good. i decided to try out for amis honour jazz band this year, but i dont understand a thing about the chord notation on the audition sheets. can anyone tell me what these mean, coz i'm not used to reading jazz music. (i know the basics like c minor chord and major sevenths and augumented fifths and stuff so if you can explain in those terms please)

C-
F-
D â
G7+9
Bb7
Bb7+
Ebâ
G-
C7
C7+
Fâ
F7
Bb-
Eb7
Ab-
Db7
F#-
B7
E-
A7
D-
G7

thanks

A. C- = C minor (or an implied C minor 7th: C, Eb, G, Bb)

D â = D half-diminished (D, F, Ab, C)

G7+9 = G seventh, sharp nine (G, B, D, F, A#)

Bb7+ = Bb7 with a raised 5th (Bb, D, F#, Ab)

Ebâ = Eb major seventh (Eb, G, Bb, D)

(the others can be figured out from these)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

These are just the bare bones of whatever it is you'll actually be playing on the piano. Better have someone show you some comping patterns! Here's a start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqjAq81ok00 (then follow the links)

How soon is the audition?

Original Question

piano chords of songs?
Q. how do you know what chords to play so you can sing along? like for example, in http://youtube.com/watch?v=ATMw5fBDzpE , the guy's merely playing the chords while avril sings along. how do know the chords of both right and left hands? or you just have to go online to search for them?

A. To find the chords for any song, it's easiest to use Google to search for the guitar chords of that song. Just enter the name of the song followed by the word "chords" and hit enter.

Guitar and piano chords are usually (almost always) the same. The left and right hands generally play the same chords or parts of chords, with additional harmonies and melodies played (usually) by the right hand in the upper register and by the left in the lower register.

I have played piano and guitar from lyrics-with-chords sheets for years, and it is the format I hand out to other musicians. The bass player can also play from these sheets.

Here is an example:

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/avril_lavigne_tabs.htm

On this page you will find both tabs and chords. Look for a song with chords and click on it. Maybe the song you're looking for is here. If not, find some other tab sites. There are hundreds of them.

It's easier to use guitar chorded lyric sheets than to find sheet music, which you MUST pay for as it is copyrighted. The guitar tabs/chords sheets are free because the musician that put them together for you is a very nice person! Be grateful to the many musicians who have made it so simple for people like you and me to play the songs we love.

Good luck!
