![]() The most commonly used 4 chords are what we are going to focus on and learn today. However, there are some that are used over and over again not only in many different pieces but also in the same piece! If you look at the image above, I have listed just a few examples of songs that are very popular that use this common 4-chord pattern. There are many many different chord progressions that we end up learning throughout our piano learning. Chord progressions are simply groups of chords put together in a specific way to create a specific type of sound. The connection that these chords have with each other is called a Progression. We can hear how certain chords create a sound of "beginning and ending" when played together and even when there is an ending missing as we're left with a feeling of "hanging in the air" instead of "landing back on the ground". We just somehow intuitively process the sounds to make sense.

If you want to know more piano information, check our weekly blog, or learn how to play piano with us in our piano classes. Always remember that in piano, no two notes have the same sound while on the guitar, you can play a chord using different strings.Īnd when you learn these things, it’s much easier to be able to musically match the piano to your guitar. Meanwhile, you should know what the string combinations to play music on the guitar are. You also need to know what the groups of notes are to achieve a specific chord on the piano. Click on the link to learn more about guitar fretboards. But, basic knowledge on how to read it can make it easier for you to match piano chords. On the other hand, the guitar fretboard is an artistic tool that beginners think of as complicated. Why? Because the patterns used on the piano are the same patterns that are used on the musical alphabet. Learning how piano notes and guitar frets work together can help you match up chords between the two instruments. Know How To Read Piano Notes And Guitar Fretboards To help you know more about this topic, you can read some books and websites about it. But of course, that’s not just what covered in Music Theory. Musical theory is understood by people all over the world and is used to play virtually all instruments. And the 12 unique notes are A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#. First, the music scale is Do-Re-Mi, or in Alphabet Scale notation from A to G. You need to have an idea of the music alphabet/scale as well as the 12 different notes in music. You Need To Understand Basic Music Theory We’re not going to give out too much detail on this one in the hopes of making it a separate post. But for you to be able to match piano and guitar chords, here is some information you should know. And that’s basically true – mainly because once you learn music and music theory on one instrument, it’s much easier to learn another instrument. Many musicians say that once you know how to play the piano, you’d know how to play the guitar and vice versa. To summarize the answer, yes, piano chords and guitar chords are the same, but they are played differently to achieve the same result. ![]() Lastly, you can play a number of multi-chords in the piano – a feat not available on a guitar. This is because the color of the tone differs from instrument to instrument. The difference is in the position of how you play them.Īnother thing to know is that you can’t just transfer the same chords from the guitar to the piano and vice versa. It’s not about the specific notes to play, because both can be the same with the piano and guitar. ![]() Just because both have chords – which are technically similar – you can’t use them to achieve the same sound just like that. So we can use the same chords for both instruments, then? Well, here’s where the confusion begins. Are Piano Chords And Guitar Chords The Same?ĭo both piano and guitar need chords? Yes. In this post, we are going to dissect both instruments’ chords and see where they are different and where they are similar. But the question is, are piano chords and guitar chords the same? If you play the chords of the piano, can you use the same chords on a guitar? Of course, notes make the flow of any piece or song, but without the chords, it’s like a river running but not on its bed. In playing specific instruments, it’s essential to learn how to play the chords.
