Q. I just started practicing on the piano. I know all the keys and where they are already. I also know the songs I want to play too but my only problem is how to use the chords in a song or like I find its hard to know what the chords are in a song by ear. Is there any specific way I am supposed to use them or are there a list of famous chords that I can use? Thanks.
A. There are chords that are used more frequently than others, and they come out of the scale of the key that the song is in.
If you are in the key of C, the major scale is C-D-E-F-G-A-B.
You form triads starting on each scale degree (letter)
I- C-E-G - a C major chord
ii - D-F-A - a D minor chord
iii- E-G-B - an E minor chord
IV - F-A-C - an F major chord
V - G-B-D - a G major chord
vi - A-C-E - an A minor chord
and
vii - B-D-F - a B diminished chord.
Most songs will use the I, IV and V chord. This is very simplistic, because in reality, any chord can go before or after any other chord.
But a lot of composers move their chords in the circle of 5ths -
They resolve nicely and sound good. - in the key of C,
a G chord would be followed by a C chord.
The pattern of 5ths gives you this progression:
iii-vi-ii-V-I, or in C it would be Eminor, Aminor, Dminor, Gmajor, C major.
Can someone help me list out some Jazz piano chord progressions i'll use for my auditioning...?

Chords Carrie underwood ?
Q. Carrie underwood's new song, "See You Again", is great and I want to play it on the piano but I can't find the chords anywhere! Probably because her album just came out on May 9th...
Anyways.. If there are any piano players reading this, can you help me figure out the chords please?? I think i have a few right..
Intro:
G
Oh oh ohh (B flat minor)
Oh oh ohh (g #)
Oh oh ohh (f minor)
Oh oh ohhh ohh (e #)
Said goodbye, turned around, and you were gone gone gone (g#)
Faded into the setting sun (b flat minor)
Please help!!!
A. Well, you do have the Intro right with it starting in the key of G. Just be aware that if it's in the key of G, then it will usually have four of the listed chord progression: G major, B minor, E minor, C major, D major, A minor.
The link I posted below will provide you with guitar chords (exactly the same as piano chords, unless a capo is used - will usually indicate that near the beginning of the piece/before the piece)
Hope this helps! Enjoy!
