Q. im working on Alicia Keys' unthinkable....the Chords are Am7 CMaj7 FMaj7 in the key of Bminor.....what is the roman numeral and symbol for the chords?
A. Well none of those chords are from the key of B minor.
I looked up a chart, and without verifying that it's correct, it says that those are the chords, but there's a capo on the 2nd fret (it's a guitar tab). That would mean that the chords are actually Bm7 Dmaj7 and Gmaj7... that's not really B minor either... it's kind of a B Aeolian thing (yes, there IS a difference between Aeolian and minor, minor implies tonality, Aeolian implies modality).
You could analyze that as i7 - III7 - VI7, or Im7 - bIIImaj7 - bVImaj7, depending on which method of analysis you want to use.
If you don't know how to play a Bm7 chord just by the name, then watch these videos:

Are piano chords and guitar chords the same thing?
Q. How can I use guitar music to play the piano?
can I just play the same chords?
A. Chords are three notes played in unison. Since chords are the same universally, yes, you can play the same three notes on a piano to make the same chord that you would strum on the guitar. Find out the three main notes in a particular chord (A Minor, for example) and find the same three notes on the piano. The C chord is C-E-G on the piano. Those are the same three notes you would form with your fingers on the guitar neck.
Hope this helps.
Piano Chord practice?
Q. Can any experienced Pianists say anything good about practicing 7th chord inversions on the keyboard up and down the keyboard in 2, 3 or 4 octaves. I wouldve thought this would be standard jazz piano practice yet I never have seen it mentioned in any jazz piano books or classical books for that matter. Seems like its never mentioned. Why is this?
Im using a metronome and taking the following form the Key of C. first a C maj up and down , then C min up and down . same as the next, C half dim, C full dim and playing up the keyboard moving up through each inversion as far as the lenghth of the keyboard will allow. and then going back down on the keyboard in the same manner.
IS this a waste of time?

A. Practicing scales is never a waste of time, they develop your fingers, teach you technique, posture, and are used in every piece of music in one way or another, I am going to be taking my grade 10 piano exam this winter (grade 8 equivalent if your in the uk..?) and I practice scales in a similar way every day before I work on any repertoire.
Are scales a waste of time? Never. They are your highway, where you would otherwise be on a sidewalk if that makes sense.
Another thing you can try doing is different patterns with your hand, like instead of always moving both up at the same time, go up an octave then split, then go up an octave, come together, repeat then follow the process on the way down, I found it a good way to help build coordination when you cycle all of the different scales.
Goodluck :)
