Chords on a piano?

Question

Can somebody give a me a list of all the chords, the note names (e.g. C,E,G), and what they mean. If you do, I will always appreciate you.

OK, basic ones. Easy ones. Ones that most songs today are played in.

Answer 1

Major Chords:
Major chords are all the chords that have the tonic note, the third note of the scale, and the 5th note if it is a triad
Major chords are written as a letter only
C- C, E, G
C#- C#, F, Ab
D- D, F#, A
Eb- Eb, G, Bb
F- F, C, A
F#- F#, Bb, C#
G- G, B, D,
Ab- Ab, C, Eb
A- A, C#, E
Bb- Bb, D, F
B- B, D#, F#

as for the minor chords all you do is move the middle note down one half step. THey will sound sadder
ex. Am- A, C, E

diminished chords you flat the third like a minor, but also flat the 5th
ex. Adim.-A, C, Eb

augmented chords you sharp the 5th
ex. Caug- C, E, G#

there are also many types of seventh chords as well
maj 7=1,3,5,7
dom7=1,3,5,7b
min7=1,b3,5,b7
min7 b5= 1,b3,b5,b7
dim7= 1,b3,b5,bb7
aug7=dom7sus5=1,3,#5,b7
dom7sus4=1,4,5,b7
min,maj7=1,b3,5,7
maj7#5=1,3,#5,7
maj7b5=1,3,b5,7

6th chords
maj6=1,3,5,6
min6=1,b3,5,6

if you want you can e-mail me about tensions for example the tensions of a dom7 chord are 1,3,5,b7,b9,9,#9,#11,b13,13
but that is pretty advanced my email is [e-mail]

Answer 2

Oooh
This is a little tricky to answer
In western music, to make a chord, use every other note
example A (skip B) C (skip D) E: ACE is a chord
its only a chord if all 3 notes a struck at the SAME TIME!
(if it were only 2 notes, it would more properly called an interval)
ACE is A minor
AC#E is A major
I leave the difference up to you
chords can more than 3 notes, I suppose with 10 fingers, 10 note chords are quite possible
Also, its nice to double notes in different octaves,
with 88 notes on a piano, 10 fingers, its just gets silly
its even sillier if someone sits on the bench and adds notes to your chords!
Have fun, a little knowledge in music is a lot of fun!!!

Answer 3

The chord on the piano and guitar are the same as far as I'm concerned. I play both guitar and keyboard and after using the link you supplied can say that those chords work with both. The only difference I can see on the chords shown on the ultimate-guitar site is the capo on fret three. In order for the keyboard notes to sound the same key as the guitar you will have to transpose the chords up three steps (use the provision they include on the site). I suggest that if you write down the individual notes that make up each chord on the guitar, you will then be able to play these on the keyboard. If you don't want to do that then leave the capo off and play it in the key of G. Hope this makes sense, regards DC.

This would take a very long time to explain, so I found a link for you.
