 Introduction part II of blog

We will now continue with the 2nd introduction of this blog, but this time we'll explain fully the «Piano Chord Chart Overview». You will find one more photo of the «Piano Chord Chart» underneath, this time you hopefully understand more of it.
​You can always go back if you
​missed something.

​The Piano Chord Charts Explained

Chord Symbols
Musicians, piano players, guitarists and even bass players use chord symbols when reading music in a band, or when recording music in a studio. Understanding what notes to put together in a chord is important to be able to read chords or chord progressions. Chords are also important for composers, arrangers, music producers and songwriters. Understanding chords and harmonies will usually lead to more interesting musical solutions. Good melodies also arise from creative chord progressions.
​Chord formulas
Chord formulas show you how a chord is created based on the steps of the major scale. If you take the time to learn the major scale, chord formulas and the intervals you will be able to find any chord without using a chord chart. This is one of the purposes of this blog, to give you a greater overview and understanding.

Names of chord notes
Every chord consists of different notes, these notes are called chord notes.
Root colour coded red
The root of a chord is the first note of the chord, and it helps to define the chord. You usually find the root in a bass instrument, unless we are talking about a chord inversion, then another note will be the lowest note of a chord.
Enharmonic spellings 
We use the term “enharmonic” in music when we want to point out that there are two ways to indicate the same note. For example Ab and G# is the same note, just spelt differently.
Picture
Chord notes in parenthesis 
The chord notes you find in parentheses is what I call practical spelling. When reading notes in a chord it is easier just to read a G instead of an Abb, even if it is the same note enharmonically.
