I already understand scales, and chords and have memorized where they are located, but I still need to know the best finger placement for them. I plan on taking lessons for piano, but not until I have gotten down the basics. I have looked all over the web for a decent website to show pictures of where to put my fingers. i haven’t found a site yet. please give me a link to a great website if you can. thanks.

1 = thumb
2 = index
3 = middle
4 = ring
5 = pinky
Most 3-note chords use fingers 1 -3 -5
Most 4 note chords use fingers 1 -2 -4-5
Get a good piano chord book that gives fingerings

I’m not quite sure what you mean. If you’re playing a basic chord..such as C major (C-E-G). You would use your thumb, middle finger, and pinky. It’s what feels natural most of the time.

I am not entirely sure about where, as from my perspective it might change with the song? but I have a link to a virtual keyboard that you can use, perhaps to test, as it utilizes the computers keyboard and effectively turns it into a piano. if you already have a piano then the link is useless, but i imagine it’s as close as you can get without buying anything.

I’ve been playing piano for about eight years. I now play keyboard in a band and I often read off the same chord sheets as the guitar. Anyway, if you know what notes the chords contain, there are countless ways you can play them, for example- C chord (right hand): 1-3-5 (C-E-G) or (G-C-E) or octaves- 1-2-3-5 (C-E-G-C) or whatever is most comfortable for you. After lots of playing, chords just come naturally especially if you really know the song. Just go with the flow… There’s no wrong way to play a chord. Unless it isnt a chord at all.
