743.0. "On Learning piano..." by USCTR1::pelkey.ogo.dec.com::pelkey (professional hombre) Fri Nov 10 1995 19:22

Well I've decided that I'm going to teach myself piano..
We have a Weston/Marshall upright that was left in the house
we bought.  It's been tuned and worked on so that it's
in good working shape.  That done,  plans now are to go as 
far as I can alone, then, look  for a teacher..

I'm looking right now, for recommendations...

I've played guitar for many many years, know music,
can read pretty good, and I'm pretty familiar with the
keys on the piano...  (I know what the notes are, 
familiar with a bunch of chords, and know a little
bit about proper hand placement for scales.. I've been 
working these things since this summer.  What I'm not
getting are all the chord positions, although for
the chords I do know, I've learned most of the variations.)

So, that said, I'm looking for a book that charts out all
the chords,,,,  I've got a few lesson type books, but
only some of the basic chord positions are in there.

Anything you folks who been there can recommend ?

thanks

    I've got a book at home with 10 bajillion chords in it, along with
    all the inversions. It's orange. Highly recommended.
