Chords are the building blocks of music.

They’re used in most Western music traditions, including pop, jazz, and church songs.

Understanding chords will help you progress in piano on both the practical and theoretical fronts.

Now, there’s a lot of theory behind chords and chord progressions...

Theory that’s quite fascinating — but to make things simple in this guide.

We’ll learn four basic chords in their root position and how to move between them.

The names of the four basic chords we’ll learn are: C major, G major, A minor, and F major.

C Major Triad in Root Position

On your right hand, place finger 1 (thumb) on C and finger 5 (pinky) on G.

Play these notes together.

They are the outer “shell” of the C major root position chord.

Once this feels comfortable, try playing E with finger 3 (your middle finger).

Try the same thing on your left hand.

Place your left-hand finger 5 on C and finger 1 on G to form the chord shell.

Then, play E with finger 3.

The same fingering applies to the other root position G major (G,B,D), F major (F,A,C), and A minor (A,C,E) chords.

It’s worth repeating: chords are the building blocks of music.

Therefore, mastering them will take you to the next level of playing, improvising, and connecting chords with riffs and fills.
