Q. who knows piano chords here by numbers it's fingering...i don't know how to play it with notes so i prefer to have it on numbers,,not numerals but numbrs..like 2345345367
A. There are numeric ways you can build chords - counting keys.
For example, a major fifth is root note, then 4 keys up, then 3 keys up. (key = half-step)
A minor fifth is root note, then 3 keys up, then 4 keys up.
A 7th is root, then 4 keys, then 3 keys, then 3 keys.
A major 7th is root, then 4 keys, then 3 keys, then 4 keys.
You can use this sort of technique to get your hands used to building the chords - at some point, visual and muscle memory will take over. You may also find it helps to group chords by their hand shapes - e.g. C, F, and G major 5ths are 1-3-5 on the white keys, D, E, and A have the 3rd finger on a black key, and B is weird (3 and 5 are both on black keys).
A major scale is whole whole half whole whole whole half.
A whole step is 2 keys - a half step is 1 key.
Try it out! Whatever technique you use to learn and memorize - practice it!
What is a piano chord?
Q. I'm trying to learn how to play piano, and I saw something called a piano chord. What exactly does that mean?
A. A piano chord is no different from a regular chord except that it's played...on the piano. By simplest definition, a chord is a group of at least three tones. This could be, for example, A C# E, which is the A major chord. Any less than that would be a single tone or interval, which doesn't really establish key. Any more than three notes would produce seventh chords (for example, A #C E G, which is the A 7th chord) ninth chords (A C# E G B), and so on, usually up to thirteenths in jazz music.
There are entire courses built on the study of chords, or tonality. If you're interested in pop or jazz chords, you might want to look into this lightweight guide:
http://www.amazon.com/Piano-Chord-Dictionary-Handy-Guide/dp/0882841548/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272218959&sr=8-1
Note that it takes an entire lifetime to learn about all the possible chords and their functions in music, to really get to know what role each chord plays and which chord falls in place most naturally and meaningfully in a piece of music. Chord identification and other purely theory-related exercises won't take all too long, though.
Good luck with your studies, and I hope you keep it up. :)
Piano???............................?
Q. can someone explain to me the piano/keyboard chords like whats a minor idk what it mean when ppl say now play b minor or sumthing and what r the black keys called and idk how to read sheet music
A. The black keys are sharps and flats. A sharp is one key above the note, and a flat is one key below the note.
When reading sheet music, these four mnemonic devices can aid you tremendously. In the treble clef (top section of music), the notes in the spaces spell "FACE", and the notes on the lines spell out EGBDF, or "Elvis's Guitar Broke Down Friday", going from top to bottom. In the bass (lower) clef, the notes on the lines spell out GBDFA, or "Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always", and the notes in the spaces spell out ACEG, or "All Cows Eat Grass"
There are four main chord qualities: Major, minor, diminished, and augmented.
A major chord is the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes played in a scale. The chord's name is the same as the scale name (B major chord=B major scale).
In a minor chord, the 3rd note of the scale is lowered by one half step.
In a diminished chord, the 3rd and 5th notes in the scale are lowered by one half step.
In an augmented chord, the 5th tone is raised by one half step.
I will use a C chord as an example.
C major chord:
CEG
C minor chord:
C, Eb (flat), G
C diminished:
C, Eb (flat), Gb (flat)
C Augmented:
C, E, G# (sharp)
You can add flat, sharp, or normal 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, etc. to your musical preference.
I made this video explaining everything just for you! I hope it helps! :)
