 BASIC CHORDS

Triads or three-note chords that are briefly discussed here actually come in four varieties. We refer to them as:

• Major
• Minor
• Augmented
• Diminished 

The great news to a beginning piano student is that once you understand these four qualities, you have a solid foundation necessary to learn every other piano chord that exists. It's true, because every other chord you'll ever be expected to know on the piano is based on one of these four chord types.

Once you know how to play a G Major chord, for example, you have the foundation to play G Major Seventh (abbreviated in music like this: Gmaj7), which is a four note chord. Seventh chords are flavorful, adding that extra spice to your piano playing. 

Perhaps learning piano chords will be where you place your focus right now. Truthfully, it certainly can be the most fulfilling way to have fun at the piano. Power Piano Chords is a way to go if you want to jump right into this avenue of fun and excitement. You'll be enjoying the art of playing chords on your piano or keyboard within about 5 minutes.
