Sharps vs flats
Why do some songs so Sharps while other songs show Flats. An F sharp is the same as a G flat! It can be very confusing for a beginner piano hacker!
ONE or the OTHER... NOT BOTH!
Thanks

Good morning David
You may need a note diagram for a piano keyboard. When I started playing the double bass I used this Double Bass Finger Board Notes diagram which I found quite useful. I'm sure you can google one for a piano keyboard. Like a ready reference that you can print off. It shows the sharps & flats. Just a suggestion. Regards Ross from New Zealand.

Hey - guess what!!!!
This program is amazing!
You can change the “signature” of the entire song. Change flats to sharps or sharps to flats at a push of the button!
No more Gb! Yea!!!
For some reason, I’m very comfortable with playing an F#. But, up pops a Gb and it’s a train wreck!!!! I lose everything! Ugh!
No longer!!!! Praise Jesus!!!!
Keep up the great work!
I’m up to playing 3 hours a day. My wife is getting jealous! ;)
Cheers and thanks -
WOW !!!
You've really come a long way in 7 days. I know what you mean. You get very used to playing in sharps and then you get some music that is full of flats and then this does your head in, in trying to do mathematical conversions as you go.
As a double bass player and loving some of the old jazz pieces from the 20s & 30s where then all of the songs were written in Eb Ab etc due to all the trumpets, trombones & saxes etc because that is their key pitch. Well they were a challenge but hey you just adapt. Try some old Billie Holliday stuff.
Glad your so excited. Regards Ross from New Zealand.

Hi David
In our local jazz band our "piano man" does a nice tinkling version of the Billie Holiday "Yours And Mine" using the chords only improvised (and not the melody). He especially hits well the first instrumental bit after the vocals.
But you will need the piano chords for Ab Bb Eb Db as well as the F and C and improvise around these.
Youtube link to put into Chordify is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7KDiLXwR5E
Attached is our simplified music song sheet. Good luck & hope you like it. Regards Ross from NZ
Where are you from in the world David? Just curious !!!

Hi Ross-
David here, thanks for the BH Jazz "Yours and Mine"! I'll check it out. Just starting to get into Chord progressions. Very cool. Chordify has really help me improve my chords... OMG - I can't begin to tell you how frustrating piano "playing" was for me, before Chordify.
I'm posting some of my "crap" on YouTube just to get over the "red light" syndrome! hehehehehe! But it's true, I can play a piece flawlessly, until I go to record it. Then, I'm all thumbs - ugh! Not sure how you can find me (or my channel) OR if you are even interested, Anyways- I'm for Maryland, here in USA!
Hey what are your thoughts on having Chordify develop an update, where we can flip screens between the YouTube feed and the Chordify screen. My eyes are bad and YouTube (currently) is so small on the current version of Chordify. If they were able to just flip the two screens, once you learned the chords to a song- then you flip the screens and start to learn the words... Cool idea??? Thoughts??? Do share!
Cheers,
DavidYour, in piano excellence! :)

Hi Eduardo
Greetings from New Zealand. I produce most of my song sheets in MS Word. Download the lyrics and then put the chords in and check them using Chordify.
When I get them right I then just print them off. Easy.
Not for everything of course otherwise you have too many pieces of paper to put into a nice file.
Regards Ross. Double Bass player
