Q. I'm new to guitar, don't know how to put this. When I'm playing a song in D, what other chords are suitable to be played along side D? List each one of them please, especially the jazz chords!
I just picked up the guitar yesterday so the only ones I know for D are A & G haha so I appreciate the help. Thanks! :)
A. Hello there,
Here is a link to a chord progression generator. You can use it to find various combinations of chords. For instance, you want to play in D. You can check out the I 4 5 1 progression. You can hear how it sounds and see what the chords are. Since you are just starting, you may not know what the 1 4 5 1 means. You don't need to at this point. The numbers refer to the root note (1) in this case D, the 4th note up the scale and the 5th note up the scale. Don't get hung up on that aspect. You will pick up the theory in time. For now, use try select different progressions to see how they sound. If you like them, use them. A easy way to experiment on chord progressions without understanding music theory.

Also, here is a link to a chord chart. It is a pdf file and several pages long. Just down load the pdf file to your computer. Whenever you want to see what the fingering is for any chord, you can find it on the chart.

Later,
What are some low pitched ukulele chords?
Q. I'm relatively new to playing and I'm looking for any chords lower than A minor (Am chord) Does anyone know of any?
A. Lower than the A minor chord (if you like minor) is the Ab minor chord, the G minor chord, the Gb minor chord, the F minor chord, the E minor chord and so on.
That works not only for ukulele, but also for piano and guitar.

jazz piano HELP!!!!!?
Q. I've been playing classical piano forever(I'm almost 15)!! I've done bits and pieces of different genres of music. But no jazz. I've grown up around lots of jazz and always admired jazz piano improv. So i started a jazz camp this week and they basically hand me music with tons of chords I don't recognize quickly and at least 4 flats per song. They expect me to sight-read which I am good at. But this is so much harder. I'm in a small ensemble where I am the only pianist and they want me to do random solos I can't keep up with. It's a complete mess... What should help?? How to improv or try to???
A. just do your best. Jazz _does_ require advanced skills that you won't pick up overnight, so don't expect too much of yourself; that'll just make this painful instead of fun.
This free booklet from Jamey Aebersold has a bunch of piano voicings around p 49... since you read well that should help you at least decipher the chord charts.

There's a lot of other great info as well, including tips on improvising, as well as the Charlie Parker story that everybody knows: how he got laughed off the bandstand when he was about 16 or 17. He later became one of the most influential jazz players of all time, for not just sax but everybody... there isn't a jazz player alive who hasn't studied Bird.
