can someone who plays piano tell me how my hand would be positioned...?

Q. if i was playing in c major?
and what letters are cord f, cord g, cord c/e in C Major?

A. chord g keys are G A B C D E F# G
chord f keys are F G A Bb C D E F
If you are playing C Major this is how you would play it

Lft Hand fingers: 1 2 3 Cross 1 2 3 4 5

Notes: C D E F G A B C

Rt Hand fingers: 5 4 3 2 1 Cross 3 2 1


Note: When you cross with the left hand your thumb goes under and when you cross with the right hand you middle finger goes over.

Original Question

(Piano) Is there a easy way to play from a C chord to a G chord?
Q. I have to play a big piece for my piano class. In one of the measures I have to play a C chord along with another note. Then right after it's another note with a G chord.
The notes are quarter notes, and the tempo's a bit quick so i barely have enough time to look at my left hand playing the G chord while playing other notes with my right hand.

is there a easy way out of this? >.<

A. Well, i wouldn't say there's a better way than practice. You can look away and play the C chord and attempt the G chord right after.

Practice practice practice...

OH. I was fumbling with my piano just now and found out what you can do:
You know how when your left hand is in C position? Well on your thumb is the G key right? You could just cross under and replace your pinky and put where your thumb us to be. Then re-arrange all your left fingers again, where now your pinky is on G, ring finger on A, middle on B, index on C, and thumb on D. Now all you gotta do is press down on your pinky, middle and thumb ;P

Original Question

What is the correct left-hand fingering for the chord, D major7, on piano?
Q.

A. It depends on what position (arrangement of notes) the chord is in. In all of these explanations:
5 is your Left hand pinky
4 is your ring finger
3 is your middle finger
2 is your pointer
and 1 is your thumb.

The order of notes is from lowest to highest.

In root (basic) position, you would play D F# A C# using 5, either 4 or 3, 2, and 1.

In first inversion, you would play F# A C# D using 5, 3, 2, and 1.

In second inversion, you would play A C# D F# using 5, 3, 2, and 1.

In third inversion, you would play C# D F# A using 5, 4, 2, and 1.

Generally however, only root position and 1st inversion are used in 7th chords unless the voice leading calls for it. In everything except for 2nd inversion you can drop the A out of the chord, as it is the least important member. (In second inversion, the A on the bottom is what makes it a second inversion chord.)

Also realise that the fingering for a chord changes depending on where your fingers need to go next in the song as well as how comfortable a particular position is for you. Don't think that there is only one "right" way to finger a chord. You need to do what makes the most sense in the context of the piece you are playing. Generally, however, the fingering I gave you will work if you just need to show what a Dmajor7 would look like.
