Piano players, Dm/F chord?

Q. Hey there, just a beginner :)
But I'd like to know which keys you use to play a Dm/F
Help is appreciated :)
Thankyou.

A. It means that you play a D minor chord in the right hand and the note F in the left hand.

A D minor chord, abbreviated Dm, contains the notes DFA. In your right hand, you would play DFA, FAD, or ADF -- whichever inversion sounds and feels best to you. (If your right hand is big enough, you can play DAF or AFD, but you probably wouldn't want to.)

In your left hand, play the note F. Depending on how heavy you want the chord to be, you can play a single note F, or you can play it in octaves.

Good luck.

Original Question

piano chords?
Q. I'm learning to play a song on the keyboard and i got the chords from the net. The problem is that there is only 'C', 'Am', 'F' etc written over the line of the song. What i want to know is have i to play only the chord cause if thats it then its just not sounding right. i'm really confused how you play it. eg.


Gm Dm
I was on your side when nobody could hold us down

Is dat all i'm supposed 2 play?

A. The composer of the chord symbols would have intended that the piece be written for guitar, yes, but if you intend to sing along with it whilst playing it on the keyboard, try, in your left hand, (don't just play the chords, as it can sound "perky or plain" on a keyboard with voice), try to play the the broken chord of Gm, but use {G, Bflat, G}, going up the scale. Play those three notes before the words and sustain them while you're singing, or play them whilst you sing the "I was".

For the D minor, again, for keyboard and voice, don't just play the simple chord{D,Natural,A}, but play the broken chord (one after the other, in quick succession or slowly) with the notes {D, Fnatural, D} or {D, A, D}, going up, repeated or sustained for the length of the rest of the phrase, whatever your liking.

But with the change between the two chords, Either play the Gminor broken chord before the "I was" while sustained (held down), or quickly, or sing the first two words slower to fit the three notes. Then, play the lower D whilst you sing the "on", then follow it with the F natural or A then D, repeated or just held while you sing the rest.

I hope that's not too complicated, but it should work.
see what you think.


Eg. -Note, the letters are notes, not chords, and the B is a B flat note, the F an F natural

Original Question

How to play piano chords. HELP PLEASE!?
Q. So, I've been teaching myself to play the piano. (a thoroughly complicated task, but beside the point) And, well I've come across chords. I know that chords are pretty much a bunch of notes played together. But the question is what notes? The song I'm working on has the chords C, E, F, G, Dm7 (whatever that means) Am, (A minor, or something, I think) and a C/E (totally lost there). Help. Please!

A. Pianos are cool.

The chords C, E, F and G all follow the same pattern - start on the letter of the chord (e.g. C) then add the notes that are 4 keys up (including black keys) and then another 3 keys up from that. So for C chord, four keys up is E, and another 3 keys up is G. C, E and G make up the C chord. That's for a major chord.

The minor chord has the same first and last note - but the middle note is one less. So start with the chord note, then got up 3 keys for the middle note, then go up 4 keys fort he last note. For Am you would start on A, go up 3 keys to C, then go up 4 keys to E. (ACE). A major would be similar - but the middle key would be one higher - C#. (A C# E).

You can try this with any starting note.

There are lots of variations for chords. Dm7 for example, is just D minor (D, F, A) with the addition of a fourth note. Without getting into details, just at 3 more keys from the last note (A+3 = C). So Dm7 is D, F, A, C.

C/E is a different thing again. The notes are actually identical to the C chord - however instead of the C being the main sound of the chord, the E is made to sound more dominant. Just play a C chord (CEG) with the right hand, and add a single E note in the bass scale.
