hey, anyone know a website where I can get the notes or whatever for chords in the piano. Thanks guys..

[MrCrabby]

I'm not sure......but I could tell you if you let me know what you want.

[SuperJeans]

I don't want just one chord. I want to be able to look at a book or something when I need a chord.

And isnt there a way to figure out chord too? I forgot she told me kind of a while ago.

[Jonodude]

Really, once you know your scales you can really find any chord you want. Actually, I don't really have "scales" memorized, but I can recall quickly which key signature has how many flats/sharps. And then I can do a scale.

Once you know that stuff you should probably be able to figure out what notes are for a a certain chord. I did - chord names are usually very descriptive. And once you know how a certain chord works, you can find it anywhere.

Example: A 7th chord adds the seventh note, which is a whole step below the root. A major 7th chord (which I find to be very pretty) adds a note one half step below the root note. Anywhere. Chords are basically formulas and once you know how they work you can find them anywhere.

Good luck!

[MrCrabby]

Use this formula to find out how many sharps/flats a given key has: W, W, H, W, W, W, H.
Whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step.
Example:
Say you wanted to find out the sharps in the key of E major. Using this formula you would find that the key of E major contains these notes: E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#, E.

For minor keys, the formula is: W, H, W, W, H, W, W.

I hope this helps.......I seem to have an amazing ability to make everything I say about as clear as mud.

Chords on a piano are the same as chords on a guitar. A C major has C, E, and G, no matter what instrument you play it on. What you're really looking for is a website on music theory. I'd just do a search and see what you come up with.

[SuperJeans]

Humm, thanks guys.

I'm not very advanced in piano. I think I'll just wait, I don't really need the chords. It was for my band, but we don't have any songs that need the keyboard yet so, yeah I won't be needing it anytime soon.
I guess I'll just be playing the guitar...

[MrCrabby]

Sowie we couldn't hewp.

I learned piano first, then guitar. So it was easier for me.

if you get the browns scale book, it has all the major and minor scales and their basic root chords and some other ones. its really good for fingering and stuff.

hope that helps

by the way, if anyone can give me some advice...im new here and i don't really know how to use this whole thing...

Best music theory resource on the web = http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~d...rds/theory.htm

Start there and just follow the links that sound helpful. Don't worry that it says it's for guitar... it's helpful for any chordal instrument.

In His love,

These are the best for chords etc.. I give them out to my friends and I have some myself. The posters are huge b/c they have a lot of info on them.

buy The Ultimate Keyboard Chord Chart published by Hal-Leonard. It's only like $3 and has all your major, minor, augmented, suspended fourth, sixth, seventh, major seventh, minor seventh, diminished seventh, and ninth chords illustrated and named in notes. it's well worth it. it's also got a page about how chords are formed...very nice.
I would only bother to learn the major and minor chords, maybe the 7ths by heart, but even better, just learn the formulas and that way you can "build" the chord even without the book to refer to.
good luck and if you need any help, let me know

i have a "picture chord encyclopedia" that i just bought at chapters its very helpful and even has many very obscure chords in it. its great. also if you get songs off e-chords.com there are pictures of the chords too.
