Question

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

I am a professional musician and high school band director. It is common for piano fingerings to be notated by numbers. However, this is almost useless unless you at least know what key or hand positions you're using. You pretty much HAVE to learn to read the notes. The fingerings are useless without this knowledge.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but when it all comes round, that kind of transcription will take you far longer than it would to learn the notes. Best wishes, though!

Answer 5

Since i have no clue where your starting point is with this "system" you have, i couldnt even guess. Best bet would be to learn how to read music properly.
