Help With Piano Chords?

Q. How do you play piano chords. I'm given a paper with things like: Am7, Gsus, Fmaj9 and I have to idea how to play things like these. Any help?

A. http://www.pianoworld.com/fun/vpc/piano_chords.htm

Use this website.

Using Am7 as an example, first you must pick the root:

Root: A

Then the chord:

Chord: Minor 7th (Am7)

And it will show you on the piano image above how to play the chord.

It will also show you the various scales of each key, but you wouldn't need to worry about that section when you just want the chord shape.

Hope this helped

Original Question

What are some minor piano chords that sound good?
Q. Scary or haunting that sound proffesional

A. All of them?

The joke is that every minor chord on a modern piano is the same shape (that wasn't always true, by the way). The chords' feeling depends on what key you're in. For instance, in the key of A minor, a C# minor chord would be very surprising (and probably not sound very good), but the key of F# minor, it's pretty tame.

Maybe what you're looking for is a sequence of chords. A lot of Renaissance and Baroque composers liked something called a "lament bass" for a sad sound. Try playing A, G, F, E in the bass. You can put different chords on top of it, like: Am, G, F, E, or even sadder, Am, Em/G, Dm/F, E. Or, for the chord over F, try an F half-diminished 7th--that's an Fm with an Eb added. Experiment with it!

By the way, the "scariest" chords are diminished 7ths. For a "haunting" sound, just play several in a row.

Original Question

where can i find piano chords for songs?
Q. ok so i cant read music sheets so i would like just the notes you have to play. i tried asking this question yesterday and it wasn't very successful.
any information would be much appreciated :]

A. Checkout guitar books. One for sure that would help, is called the "fake" book. It has the chord names above the lyrics. Throughout the entire songs. You will need to know your piano chord shapes though! Print out a chord chart, that's how I got started.
