Q. I write my own songs, but I write them on my piano, because on guitar i am not very good yet. I need to learn after I have already written out the notes on piano how to convert them to guitar. I know where the chords are on a guitar, but what apparently a lot of people don't realize is (for example) a C note on a piano is not the same sound as a C note or chord on guitar. Two completely different sounds!!! so i need some help please if you can! tnx a ton!

May I use my index finger to start chords on piano?
Q. I just began playing piano; I am learning chords. I learned that to start a chord I will put my thumb on the base note, then put my middle finger two notes up, then end with my pinky two more notes up, so that I am playing three notes with my thumb, middle and pinky finger. That feels very strange and unnatural to me, and I mess up a lot. It is so much easier for me to use my index finger to play the root note, then play the second note with my middle finger, then play the last note with my ring finger. Is the way I want to play it bad? If I play chords that way, will I have trouble down the road? It's easier to play that way now, but will it hurt me later on?
A. Well you just got lucky! Ignore the limited knowledge of other answers that put down this method. My dad (& I) were piano teachers years ago. One of the systems he taught from was called THE POINTER SYSTEM and the basis of the system is using the index finger to form chords! I haven't seen the books for years but I am sure a Google (or other search engine) search would turn up something, You could try Woodwinds/Brasswinds at http://www.wwbw.com/ or any of the music publishing companies such as Hal Leonard or Alfred, which is the system I used to teach from.
A "System" is a collection of books teaching a cohesive method of learning music theory as well as giving exercises and examples. Amazon.com sells Hal Leonard books among many others. Happy learning. Good luck.
How do you convert guitar chords to Piano notes?
Q. I am needing to know how to convert guitar chords to piano notes. I need to know how to do this because sometimes when our band plays music we can only find guitar chords and i need the notes for piano. like i need these guitar chords as piano notes. (G#5, C5, A#5, D#5)
A. Well, there are two ways -
the first is to find the chord on your guitar and find the notes that each finger is on. So, using your G#5 chord - your index finger is on the 4th fret, low E string, your ring finger is on the 6th fret, A string. So you count up on the guitar itself - G# on the pointer, D# on the ring. So, the G#5 chord is G# and D#. You will need to know the chord shapes to do this, as well as the step differences between notes to count right.
The second is to use music theory. Every chord (with the exception of power chords) uses 3 or more notes. The most basic chord is called a triad. It consists of a root note, 3rd, and 5th. If you know the scale that you are using, find the note you want, then move up two notes for your 3rd, and another for your 5th. For example, lets say your are in the key of G major and I needed to know the Amin chord. The scale is G A B C D E F# G. So i'd start on A, my 3rd would be C and my 5th would be E. ACE. For "5"/power chords, do the same thing, but only count the 5th note. So, your C5 would be a C and a G.
The above method ONLY works if you use notes and chords inside of a scale. An example of how this won't work - in the G major scale, the "A" chord is minor, or Amin. If you were to try to use this for the AMaj chord, you would get the wrong notes.
For the triads, there is another way to find the notes: the fifth is always 7 half-steps from the root. In a minor chord, the 3rd is 3 half-steps away from the root. In a major chord, the 3rd is 4 steps from the root. For example, you'd find the Gmaj chord like this: the root, G, would be zero.......1-g# 2-a 3-a# 4-B......B is your major 3rd. 1-g# 2-a 3-a# 4-b 5-c 6-c# 7-D.......D your 5th. Your GMajor chord is GBD.
If I confused you - I'm sorry. Music theory is not the easiest thing to explain or understand. It is all mathematics and rules.......way too many rules to explain w/o writing a book.
