Q. im writing a song in Dropped C on guitar and i was gonna include a paino intro, but im not sure what Key it would be in. would it just be the normal key of C?
A. Like Soulmate says, you're confusing keys with tuning. A C note on a guitar is a C note on piano - a C chord is a C chord, etc.
When you have tuned a guitar down to drop C , then you've basically tuned everything down one whole note, the low E down two.
In other words, of you play, say a D chord shape on this tuning, it will be one whole note - two steps lower - in C. An A chord shape will be G and so on and so forth.
I'm afraid you will only confuse yourself if you don't get at least some rudimentary understanding of theory and terminology.
piano chord question?
Q. on the piano can i play 2 chords at the same time ? or do i play one chord and a finger chord? im new
A. It all depends on the context
If you were to be in the key of C major and play CEG in left hand and Bb D F in the right hand the right hand chord would sound as part of the C chord and turn it in a C11 chord.
However you can also create polytonality like in many Stravinsky works in which the music is literally in two different keys at the same time. To get the effect of two distinct chords you need to use voicing, accent, dynamics and timbre to keep the two chords distinct to the ear.
2 Piano Chords?
Q. what are these 2 piano chords? They are played on the white keys.
1. A D F
2. G C E
One finger on each letter - it forms a whole chord for all 3 notes.
A. Hmmm, the smart one isn't that smart ;-)
A D F is d minor, NOT F major. in deed in the 2nd inversion.
'Normal' chords are build lke this.
Rootnote --- Thirth --- fifth.
So from 'd' that gives us:
d -------------- f ----- a
(rootnote)(thirth)(fifth)
Now you cantake these note's and have any note in the bass. It could be:
d-f-a
---f-a--d
-----a--d-f
Same notes, same chord, but not the same function. In classical harmony, the second inversion is considered to be instable. It is progressive, wants to move on, not like the Rootposition, that one is (more or less) stable.
Look at wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(music) ) for further information. As a matter of fact these two chords are given as an example there.
