What's a chord really?

A Chord is a combination of at least three notes which gives us an impression of a sound.

The chords are named after the big letters of the ABC. The different Letters state the basic note of the chord and according to the symbles next to it we can tell which we should press in order to produce that specific chord we're looking for.

When we play a sequence of chords we play the HARMONY of the whole song.
Later on, after we'll learn to form different chords we will talk about the rules of harmony. Or in other words, how each chord is related to the other.

In our lessons we're going to learn about chords in two levels. The intuitive level and the theoretical level.

In the intuitive level we will try to form the chords by ear according to the nature of their sounds.
In the theoretical level we will see how the chords are built in a logical manner.
Combining these two aspects is the real and ultimate way to learn to play piano chords.

In the basic piano chord lessons we're going to cover four main chord types. We'll begin with the Major Chords. Then we'll learn about the minor chords. Afterwards we'll discuss the diminished chords and finally we'll talk about the augmented Chords When we're through with that we'll learn to createChord Inversions and we'll end-up with learning to read and play slash chords.
