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!
Could someone explain piano chords and how to play in different keys on piano?
Q.
A. Not really. Not in the one page supplied by yehoo to answer you. It took me YEARS to learn all that sort of stuff, but I'll give you the basics.
Scale is another word for climb, so all you doing is starting on that letter of the alphabet and walking through every letter of the alphabet until you reach the next note of the same name. So if you were playing a C scale youd start on C and walk through all the other notes without missing any out until you reach the next C. D scale means start on D and walk to the next D.
Chord actually means strings. Originally music was written out for choirs, choirs use their vocal chords and the word chord was used to say this bunch of people are going to sing this note and that bunch wil sing that note and the last bunch will sing that note. Chords are also sometimes called TRIADS because in their most basic form there are three notes in them.
The easiest explanation is PLAY ONE MISS ONE.
So, if you were playing a C chord you would play C, miss the D then play the E and miss the F and play the G. C=C E G
Scales are play everything
Chords use the FIRST, THIRD and FIFTH notes from the scale that they are named after.
If you want to know all your scales order this book SIMPSONS SCALE MANUAL
Its a technical book that has absolutely everything in it
If you want a book that explains chords to you then order a book called a PIANO CHORD DICTIONARY
All scales are the same as each other. When you start playing them you'll see what I mean. So learn ONE really well before you start the next and they'll be easy.
There are five hundred and fifty chords altogether used in music but at the basic level they all do the same thing as each other. Asking us to tell you how to do them all isn't possible.
Not on one page anyway. Get those two books and you can thank me later.
All the best

Learning Piano Chords?
Q. Where do I begin? Majors? Is there a good free site which has pictures included?
Would it be good to learn scales before chords? Or after?
Thanks in advance
A. I was taught to play piano classically and I'd say if you want to be able to sightread and play classical pieces of music then there's no substitute for learning the scales. It was boring as anything but it'll stand you in good stead when playing piano generally because you'll already know the key signatures/fingering.
However, I know some other types of piano-playing particularly jazz and blues (and to some extent I guess rock) are built more around chords. This method is also supposed to be a fast-track method to learning to play? So if you're wanting to learn more for fun - to play around with songs or maybe write your own then maybe you don't need to know the more "correct" fingerings.
There's plenty of websites out there doing this kind of stuff but be warned a lot of them are trying to sell you something.
I've just had a quick look and I think this is my favourite because it shows you all the variations and how they should sound: http://www.8notes.com/piano_chord_chart/
If you prefer videos this is kind of basic but shows you exactly what you're doing and what fingering etc.

I think the normal order would be to learn them in the order of fewest sharps and flats so starting with C, G, D, A and F majors and A and D minors. (look at the ABRSM syllabus for the order they teach the scales: http://www.abrsm.org/resources/pianoComplete0608.pdf)
I think if it was me I'd learn both at the same time, so start with a basic scale like C major, and then learn the C major chord at the same time - maybe playing around with some of the variations a bit too.
I'm sure some other people will disagree though and if you're already familiar with music theory or play another instrument pretty well you can probably skip the scales. Or if you're not too serious about piano and doing it just for fun by all means learn the chords.
