Q. My friend and I want to cover the Glee version of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" but we can't figure out what key it's in because its different than the original. Piano chords can give us enough information to figure out the rest, so if anyone can tell us what key its in or some piano chords for that version we would really appreicate it!
A. Here are the chords as I hear them. Feel free to contact me if anything sounds wrong and I'll try to get it right.

Chords on a piano?
Q. Can somebody give a me a list of all the chords, the note names (e.g. C,E,G), and what they mean. If you do, I will always appreciate you.
OK, basic ones. Easy ones. Ones that most songs today are played in.
A. Major Chords:
Major chords are all the chords that have the tonic note, the third note of the scale, and the 5th note if it is a triad
Major chords are written as a letter only
C- C, E, G
C#- C#, F, Ab
D- D, F#, A
Eb- Eb, G, Bb
F- F, C, A
F#- F#, Bb, C#
G- G, B, D,
Ab- Ab, C, Eb
A- A, C#, E
Bb- Bb, D, F
B- B, D#, F#
as for the minor chords all you do is move the middle note down one half step. THey will sound sadder
ex. Am- A, C, E
diminished chords you flat the third like a minor, but also flat the 5th
ex. Adim.-A, C, Eb
augmented chords you sharp the 5th
ex. Caug- C, E, G#
there are also many types of seventh chords as well
maj 7=1,3,5,7
dom7=1,3,5,7b
min7=1,b3,5,b7
min7 b5= 1,b3,b5,b7
dim7= 1,b3,b5,bb7
aug7=dom7sus5=1,3,#5,b7
dom7sus4=1,4,5,b7
min,maj7=1,b3,5,7
maj7#5=1,3,#5,7
maj7b5=1,3,b5,7
6th chords
maj6=1,3,5,6
min6=1,b3,5,6
if you want you can e-mail me about tensions for example the tensions of a dom7 chord are 1,3,5,b7,b9,9,#9,#11,b13,13
but that is pretty advanced my email is zachs90@gmail.com

A. Ok this is in no way going to teach you how to play piano, but a basic understanding of music theory would help a lot. Chords are structured based on scales and keys yadah yadah. the letters (i.e. A B C D) are root notes to the chords. Now for the symbols. b=flat so Ab= A flat major chord. It's major because is has nothing denoting it's not. anything with a little m next to it is minor. That means that rather than playing the chord major, you drop the third note in the chord down a half step. The 7 means you add in the 7th note in the scale to that chord. # is the opposite of flat. It means sharp, so c# is a C sharp chord. Verse chorus and bridge are self-explanitory. Chords are generally 3-5 notes on average played together. So the first chord on there the Ab chord is an A flat major chord. your root note is Ab, and the other two notes you play are C and Eb I believe. If you don't know the notes on a piano, you need to buy a book. If this makes sense, it should be easier to figure out now. Another note. A major chord consists generally of three or four notes. Your root note, the next note is 4 half steps above that, and the next note is 3 half steps above that.
A minor chord has the root note, the next note is three half steps above that, and the last note is 5 half steps above that. I'm certainly not saying "this is how you play piano". I play, and it's not something you can just pick up and learn, but this should give you somewhat of a better understanding of how to read these charts. If you go out and spend like ten bucks at a local music store, you can get a music theory book that will explain all of this in great detail. btw what song is this?
Hope this helps and good luck.
