Q. I am a classically trained pianist who hasn't really studied jazz since high school. I always dabbled around in the practice room but had problems applying my theory to the sound that i wanted to establish. Some you tube videos have been help full but i always run into the videos that are telling me something i already know. I'm looking for improve techs to ultimately get the feel that im missing in jazz and gospel.
A. Scales, Arpeggios, D7's, Chords
also Czerney is good composer who put a lot of technical stuff into their piano compositions :) try them
Hanon is really useful too

Verse 1:

Jocko says yes and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him

You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind
Chorus:

Verse 2:
Jocko said no when I came back last time
It's lookin' like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
It's gettin' pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

How do I figure out the guitar chords to go with a song I wrote?
Q. I started writing a song, and I usually use the piano the play the basic melody, but I don't know how to play piano, I only know enough to play the melodies of songs.
i really want to be able to play my guitar with the song, but I don't know how to figure out the chords.
this may be a stupid question, but lets say the first note of the song is G, would I just play the G chord, or does that depend on the song?
please help
A. For a budding songwriter - begin and end your songs with matching note and chord. A song in the key of G will begin and end with a G note and chord.
Choose your next chords on the I,IV, &V7 theory.
The chords for the key of G are G, C, and D7.
The basic concept is to use the chords â1â, â4â and â5-7â typically written with roman numerals, âIâ, âIVâ, and âV7â.
Write the Chromatic Scale in a Circle.
A, A#,B,C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#
Pick any letter in the circle as Chord â1â, count over 4 for the second Chord in your song. Finish with 5-7.
Examples would be A, D,& E7, or C, F, & G7, or D ,G,&A7, or E, A, & B7, or G, C, and D7.
See the pattern?
If you want another chord add a 7 minor. Such as C, F, G7 and Am.
Good Luck and Have Fun~
