Chords and Arpeggios

[johnvw]

Hi to All,
Still battling along, but enjoying every minute.
I am again starting to spend more time with Chords and  Arpeggios ( that is, if my fingers do not fall off ).

 How did you members learn these.

I see Chords displayed on the keyboard ( lovely colours ), but the notation is not available.
I see the notation, without reference to the Chord and I am lost.

If I could see the notes on the staff and the keyboard note position, there would be near immediate recognition, acknowledging both, ideally in two octaves.

I have googled everywhere but just can not seem to find this combination, which to me seems quite a logical approach to becoming familiar with the Chords, (but then again as an old bugger, logic has many platforms ).

What approach have you found successful.

Thank you in advance.
Regards
John

No idea what you're looking at.  Post an image.

What OP probably means is that he cannot easily map between the alphanumeric chord notation (i.e. Am or G7) and the staff notation.

Hi to All,
I see tables of Chords , that is the various notes coloured on the keyboard. I see tables of the Chord  notes displayed on the Staff.
What I was looking for was the combination of both ( which I eventually found ), a table showing both.

The advantage, to me, was not only becoming familiar with the finger placement, but visually recognising the notes on the ledger lines, as a  Chord, or better still as a broken chord.

In my early stages of Sight reading, seeing a combination of notes, broken chords, and visually recognising the pattern combination, as Chord, to me at this time, is quicker than identifying each not as ( eg ) C E G
