Post by: foot_locker on August 01, 2003, 02:44:43 PM

Hello, I am new to to the site and I've been trying to play some of the chords right but I don't understand how to play the chords either together or seperate because I'm trying to read the notes and i understand RH and LH but I dont know when something post like Eb,G,Ab,C/Bb,Ab F#  How would I play that? Would I play all at the same time or seperate? Please Help me because currently I'm a drummer at my church but currently I've been trying to play the organ and piano,etc.So please help me :D

It depends on the poster, the notes you displayed look like they should be played together...usually if they're single notes....the poster will let you know. Sometimes they have directions on the chord - note lingo, mine are as follows:

LH / RH = LEFT HAND / RIGHT HAND
[------] = SINGLE NOTES
- = WORDS TO THE SONG
CG / Bb_____FC / Eb = 2 CHORDS PLAYED RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER...
CG / Bb [F_G_Bb_D] = CHORD THEN SINGLE NOTES FOLLOW
[F_G_Bb_D] CG / Bb = SINGLE NOTES THEN CHORD PLAYED

HOPE THIS HELPED!
