Play a G major chord on piano
The same skip-a-key shape as C major, moved up to G. With C and F, it's one of the three chords that fit the key of C.
- Find a group of three black keys. The white key between the first and second of them is G.
- Right hand: thumb on G.
- Middle finger on B (two white keys up) and little finger on D (two more white keys up).
- Press all three together.
Try it now: Play C major, then G major, then C again. Which note do both chords share? [G.]
