How do you convert guitar chords to piano chords?

Q. i really would like to play a song on the piano. the song is kind of old and i can only find it for the guitar so i was wondering how do you convert these to piano chords or notes?
( F#m Bm Em A7) thank you!

A. Well an F#m chord is an F#m chord no matter what instrument you play it on.

You should really learn how to build chords yourself. I don't know how long you've been playing piano, but if you can't tell me what notes are in an E minor chord then you need to get crackin' on some learnin'

F#m is F# A C#
Bm is B D F#
Em is E G B
A7 is A C# E G

How do I take Piano or Guitar Chords and make them notes for a Flute?
Q. I have to play songs for the Student Ministry at my church on my flute. My worship leader gave me the Piano chords and i want to learn how to play some Breaking Benjamin stuff too. I have the chords but i have no idea what notes to play. I've messed around with the notes that are in the chords but they don't make sense. Especially the minors and majors..any help??

A. Figure out the key (scale) of the song then play around in that scale. Since you have the piano chords you could simply play the root note of the chord followed by other notes of the scale, or you could walk up or down to the root of the chord using the notes of the scale. You can use non-scale notes also but only in passing.

Really there is no such things as a wrong note. It's just a innate ability you develop to know when to play it and when to release it, e.g. placement and duration of a note. The ability to play your scales really fast, and skip around in them knowing where you are at all times will make it easy for you. Though you must control yourself and not overplay.

Your ear will develop and you'll eventually figure out how to play any melodic line you want or desire to play.

Original Question

What's the difference between G and G7 chords on guitar?
Q. I'm a beginner guitarist, but have been playing piano, drums and singing for years. I understand that in guitar, Gm = G minor, but what does the G7 chord stand for? like Gm is the G chord in minor, but what is the G7 chord in relation to just the regular G chord?

and also, does anyone have any songwriting tips? i have the vocal notes down (the rhythms are slowly coming along), but i just am having trouble finding chords and chord changes that fit with my song (there aren't any key changes in the song, but i dont want to be playing the same guitar chord throughout the whole song!)

A. you add the flatted seventh note of the G scale in this case it is "F"

Major chords = root, 3rd, 5th
Minor chords = root, flatted third, 5th
Seventh chords = root, 3rd, 5th, and flatted 7th

Seventh chords are "transitionary" they announce something is going to change. Create tension. pull for a "resolve"
