Title: Hello - Chords and Notes
Post by: intervene on January 25, 2009, 09:20:02 AM
hello, new guy here, wanting to learn :)

Can someone help me here:

What I want to know is, am I playing just the note D next to middle C?

Figure 2: https://img104.imageshack.us/img104/5203/dnexttomiddlecbw9.jpg

because it's located here:

Or am I playing G, A#, D which is the G minor Chord?

Figure 4: https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6779/gadtv8.jpg

But then again, why is it telling me to play it in G minor? If the ledger lines in Figure 3 tell me that it is supposed to be next to middle C, why is the Gm necessary for it to be above the note?

Thank you! Sorry for the headache.
