play Piano using chords [TUT] (share your tips and concerns too) - PINOYDEN

In this thread, we can share tutorials and tips about playing  piano/keyboard/electric organ using chords which was requested by few people in "Songtrip Tambayan" thread


It is quite different from reading of notes so we may exclude it here unless it is needed to elaborate certain ideas related to the topic. The chords alone is very broad so tiyaga lang po sa pagbabasa.

baka may professional pianist po na dumaan paki guide nalang po kami

so simulan ko na po


 
the picture below is considered as one octave. If I know, it is called octave because it has eight white keys.. ( parang octopus na may 8 tentacles )  
the keys are marked with letters and symbols representing it's notes. The letters below represent the white keys ( C D E F G A B C ) also known as ( Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do ) forming one octave.

The above letters and symbols represent the black keys. If you noticed, 1 black key has two names. It is necessary because it might be read as sharp ( #-half step higher ) or flat ( b-half step lower ) dependingly.


memorize this! It is a must! anyways, may technique naman para diyan. Kahit yung white keys lang imemorize natin then remember the pattern na kapag nasa kanan ng specific key yung black key, sharp (#) yun, kapag nasa kaliwa naman, flat (b). Just like sa guitar tabs.
moving on..

number your fingers from 1-5.
 1-thumb, 2-index, 3-middle, 4-ring, 5-pinky.. Just like the image below



On the above image, the red dots are the keys you have to play using the numbers 1,3,5 fingers. The illustrated chord is " C major ". It is a triad chord a.k.a  triple-note chord. Base sa given name, tatlo yung pinipindot na nota or keys



take a look at this ( below )



the left hand is used. The shaded keys form a "G major" chord. I suggest, practice the right hand first in playing the keys and get familiarize with it. Kumbaga kasi sa guitar, ang right hand ang tumutogtog ng lead, ang kaliwa naman ang bass..



Intro palang yan


since alam na natin kung paano pipindutin ang keys to form 1 chord, maybe masusundan na natin to.


I've collected charts that could help us out.. Just like the above images, we'll play the red dots using the 1-3-5 fingers in the illustrations below..





I suggest that you focus on familiarizing yourself with the major chords.. Why? Kasi dito tayo magbi base pagdating sa ibang chords.


For instance, try to compare the "C major" with "C minor".. Yung key na nasa gitna, lumipat ng kalahating nota. "Cmajor [C+E+G]" vs. "Cminor [C+Eb+G]". Ganyan din gagawin sa ibang major chords para maging minor. Transfer the number 3 finger (middle) half note lower. How? Study the picture above



Punta naman tayo sa sharps and flats. See the illustration below.



Compare the chords with sharp symbols (#) from simple Major chords. All keys are half note higher e.g. "F#major=[F#+A#+C#]" vs. "F major=[F+A+
C]". Ganun din sa ibang chords.

Now, can we combine the rules of sharps and minors? Yes, e.g. "F#minor=[F#+A+C#]". From "Fmajor", itinaas ko ang 1-3-5 keys ( to make it sharp) then ibinaba ulit ng half note yung number 3 key ( to change it to minor ) visualize.


next.. Pagdating sa flat (b) half step lower naman.


Here are the other rules. We can use it as pattern.



It may be difficult na imemorize lahat ng chords but it is not necessary naman. Study the major chords first because it is a key for progress. After that, review the rules of different chord types. Hindi naman lahat ng chords magagamit sa isang kanta, davah?


I suggest na magstart tayo sa isang favorite song, get it's chords then ito muna ang unahing ipractice.


share your tips and tutorials too! You may upload videos or recordings containg tips.
 
p.s. Paki inform nalang po ako kung may kailangang baguhin sa thread

@cherbebz. May laruan dati yung kapitbahay naming bata, dati kasi diko naman na nakikita. Walang black keys. Puro puting keys lang. Pwedeng pwede yung twinkle twinkle.

bibili ka ng alin wildbebz? bilhan mo din kami ah, saken kahit fries lang yung Large



kuya kom walang black keys talaga? kakaiba kahit laruan lang. Di kaya tinanggal lang nung bata?

Wala nga. Bale 1 octave lang. Doremi.

May nakita ako sa Laoag Bazar ewan ko ilang keys yun. Tig 2K+ lang, okay naman siya.

Sabi nung isa diyan bibilhan niya ko sa sahod niya.

oo nga pala di pa ako nakakakita ng piano     kom may sinabi ba yung isa diyan na bilhan ka niya                                              cherbebz fries lang ba gusto mo

2k lang? meron kasi akong nakikitang keyboard na nagri range sa ganung price, limited yung napagsa sabay na tunog ng keys. I mean pag pinindot mo yung anim na keys, apat lang ang magpoproduce ng sound, kaya importante din icheck yun bago bilhin.
