Help with Add-9 chords on piano?

Q. how do I properly represent the guitar add-9 and G chords shapes on piano? loads of songs use the (EADGBE): 320033, x32033, x02033 etc guitar chords but just playing their root chords on piano (G C D whatever) doesn't sound as nice. can you tell me some ways to replicate that kinda sound on piano properly? (or just some tips for nice chords)

A. Hmmm, well the diagrams you represent for the guitar are not chords at all. So, I'm wondering where you got them. You're guitar player maybe? Also wondering what specif add9 chords you are trying to play? A Cadd9 looks like this: 032030, - a Gadd9 looks like this: 300203, - and a Dadd9 looks like this: 200230. There are of course about 19 other ways to play each of those chords on the guitar but, those are the right notes for an add9 chord. When I type in the notes you suggest, I get no chord found in Chord Wizard which is extremely accurate for locating guitar chords. So, there you have it. As far as representing chords on the keyboard, I play both guitar and keyboard and if you have the notes right on both instruments, then the chords will sound correct.

Original Question

Guitar chord question?
Q. okay so I am working on learning some chords I am new to guitar but i play piano and can read music. couple questions. When a chord diagram looks like (A chord)
A

e ---|---|---|---|---|
B ---|-x-|---|---|---|
G ---|-x-|---|---|---|
D ---|-x-|---|---|---|
A ---|---|---|---|---|
E ---|---|---|---|---|

Am I supposed to play the E A and E strings or not? (This is off ultimate guitar.com) and second the song i got this from (Wonderwall) says the chord is this A - 320033. THis is not the same as above, why? And lastly does anyone know a site that can help relate guitar to piano chords/notes or a book? I know thats a lot but thanks for any help.

A. Your diagram is an A major chord, so you definitely want to play the open A string since that's the root of the chord, and you want to play the high E string since E is one of the notes in an A chord (C# is the third). You can play the low E as well, but chords *usually* sound better if the root of the chord is the lowest note you hear. But if while you were strumming away you strummed the low E string, it would at least fit with the chord.

The other chord you mention: 320033 -- isn't an A chord. Its a G major chord, comprised of the following notes from low to high: G B D G D G

But if you're playing with a capo on the second fret, a G chord will come out *sounding* like an A, because the capo on the second fret in effect brings the entire guitar tuning up a whole step. Then an A chord played with a capo on the second fret will come out *sounding* like a B.

Hope this helps.
