What are these kind of piano songs (music sheets) called?

Q. They're the kind of music sheets where there aren't any left hand notes, but there's something above the right hand notes that indicates that the left hand plays the same notes that the right hand does. What are these music piano music sheets called?

Thanks in advance! :D

A. Raymond is correct. I think you've misunderstood what is above the single treble clef. Above the staff are one form or another of chord symbols

You have the melody, and above, the harmony. A keyboard player who improvises and has learned the (pop) terminology for chords has enough to go on to play a full arrangement from that basic information.

They are called, as well as charts, "cheat sheets." The bound collections, "cheat books."


Best regards.

Original Question

Is it hard to learn to play the piano after knowing how to play guitar?
Q.

A. It depends on how proficient you are on the guitar, and whether you learned to play by ear, reading chords/tablature, or using actual sheet music (staff).

The notes are the same, the chords, progressions, scales, etc. are constructed the same way - it's just a matter of learning how to transfer it to black/white keys rather than a fretboard.

Playing piano also usually consists of playing different parts with the left and right hands - typically chords with the left, and melodies with the right. This takes considerable more coordination than playing a guitar (although some styles of guitar combine rhythms and melodies - usually while fingerpicking).

It depends on what you are expecting to be able to do with it. I learned to play guitar mostly by ear (with a few basic lesson early on), and I mostly stick to tablature (combined with listening to the song). I can bang out a few songs on piano - I can puzzle through sheet music but not 'site read'. I was vehemently anti-music theory for years because I believed (and still do to a point) that it can destroy creativity and originality.

I eventually came around (again - to a point), mainly because I became intrigued with harmonics - like why is it that certain combinations or strings of notes sound good together, while others don't, or why do minor chords/scales evoke feelings of melancholy, etc.

I also love to analog synthesizers (like my Moog Opus3), so it is helpful to have some piano/organ skills, but I usually just cheat and keep chord/scale sheets handy - plus I tend to use it a lot for sound effects, etc. rather than actually 'playing' it.

Original Question

how can i learn to play stuck in the middle with you on piano fast?
Q. i have to learn the song in a slower version or my sister's wedding in september! i needto learn it by then. and im no goodwith sheets. but i coulddo sheet music but how can i learn it and find it fast?


please and thnankyou,

A. The first thing you may want to do is make a cheat sheet.
It looks like this: Cmaj x 4 \ Fmin x 4 \ Cmaj x 2 \ etc...
which means :
C major for 4 bars, F minor for 4 bars, C major for 2 bars.

If you're singing and playing, just figure out the root chords for each 4 bars and don't worry about playing any leads. Make it easy.

If you're playing the lead melody, just figure that out first and then add the bottom chords when you're comfortable.
There's really no other way to learn a tune "fast" other than just playing the sh__ out of it until you can do it in your sleep.
Then practice it some more.lol.

If I remember right, it's sort of like a 12 bar blues format and the verse melody is the same for every verse and the chorus is also the same melody on every chorus. The bridge is pretty simple so it shouldn't be too hard.
