Chord Progressions?

Q. Im starting to teach myself how to play the piano. I really just want to know chords and chord progressions. Can anyone give me a basic understanding or help me a little? Like if i did a B minor chord how would i know what would work with it?

A. If you're just starting, don't start with B minor! :)

One example, in C major. The notes of the scale are numbered:
C=1, D=2, E=3, F=4, G=5, A=6, B=7.

Try the following chords- 1, 4, and 5. Those are the very basics for most music. The 7 chord (or 7 diminished, blues 7) are used right before resolving to 1.

Note- it sounds really awful if you play the 1 chord, 2 chord, 3 chord, etc.

Also, compliment minors work well. The compliment minor for C major is A minor. I think.

It's been so long since I took music theory!! I would recommend two things- 1. experiment with what sounds good to you, and 2. check out some 'basic music theory for dummies' books. I would highly recommend learning to read sheet music, and learning about the notes of the scale, and all the different keys to play in.

I-vi-ii-V7-ii Similar to the previous chord progression, but with a ii squeezed in between the V7 and the I. This added ii makes the progression less final at the end. V to I is a popular way to end songs. With the ii, it sounds like the song keeps going.

Can someone teach me Piano Chord progression please?

Q. I really want to get down and write some songs I've been learning how to write music but not play.

A. There are tons of different "progressions". Why don't you pick up an adult method piano book -- most of those are "chord" based and will taech about progressions. Otherwise get a basic theory book in order to learn about progressions.
