How Do You Play A G Major Chord On The Piano?
Playing the G major chord, or triad, on the piano is very much the same as playing triads in C major. Although G has a sharp in its key signature, it is not located on the first, third or fifth notes of the scale, which are the only notes used in major triad chords. Correct fingering on the piano keyboard allows you to easily play a G major chord. Find a G key on the piano keyboard and place your thumb over that key. Count up a major third to B and place your middle finger over that key. Place your little finger over D, a perfect fifth up from G. Press all three keys down simultaneously to play the G major triad chord in root position. Move your thumb over B, your index finger over D and your little finger over G an octave higher than the G key used in the root position chord. Press all three keys down simultaneously to play the first inversion of the G major triad. Put your thumb over D, your middle finger over the G key used in the first inversion chord and your little finger over B
