right hand over left? or left hand over right?
« on: May 25, 2006, 05:39:53 PM »
hi everyone, I was just wondering when you see music written like this "Bb/C" do you play whats on the left with your right hand or with your left hand? because I've seen people do it differently, but I would like to know how yall do it so i can play the chords right that you put on here. lol thank you and God bless.

That Bb/C should be played right playing left side and left hand playing right side. :)

I think you just contradicted DINGSTER.....and I am inclined to believe him based upon my use of CHORDED SONGS I have gotten off of this board.  It's.....


LEFT HAND/RIGHT HAND

Yes!!!  It is called a "slash chord".  Google it.  For example, http://www.pianobychords.com/slashchords.html.

As chords appear on sheet music, you should play as said by DbKeysinCT (except his slash should be "/").  This is the standard way to read Bb/C. 

In contrast, please keep in mind that the way most people post chords on this site is non-standard.  That difference is so important to know that there should be a disclaimer on this site somewhere...lol  :D  It will save you from a lot of confusion.  ;D

Derik was actually correct, and so is playhear and DbKeysinCT.    it is called a slash chord,  you would play the c in the bass, which means you play the left side with your right hand, and the right side in your left hand.


Playhear is also correct about this being the STANDARD notation.  If you buy sheetmusic anywhere in the world and they have chord notations on the music, you will see it written this way.   The way we do it on this site is non-standard,  but as long as everyone understands the difference, it's no big deal.

Most of the stuff on this site is spelled out note for note anyway,  which is not something you will see in standard chord notation.  If you want note for note, the arangers expect you to read the sheet anyway.

But the stuff on this site (and Sister T's site) although non-standard, is still highly accurate.  People just need to know the difference between what we see here vs what you would see on a purchased lead sheet or chord chart.

thanks

Sheet music (slash chord - RH/LH)
LMG (notation - LH/RH)

simple enough?

so now i am confused if left hand means right hand when standard and right hand means left hand on lgm and then when i ply a scale with my left hand does thatn mean i am relly playing it with my right hand  and on the organ do i notate my right foot as my left foot and my right foot with my left foot does it make a diifference if i only see out of one eye does that then mean that my right eye is really my left eye

and what about fingering do i start with my pinky as one on my left hand or is my thumb one on my lefth in standard and my pinky is five on my left in lgm



i could go on and on but it stopped being funny as soon as i wrote the first word
yall know im just causing trouble

Yall are just confusing yall selves on here.  It is all so simple.  If people would put a note at the beginning of their post telling us how to read and play their chords, there would be no confusion.  Here is a few tips:

If you see a chord written out like this, C / C-E-G, then the correct way to play it is LH/RH.

If you see a chord symbol (any chord symbol) written like this C / E, the correct way to play it is RH/LH.

If you have no idea how to play a chord, try playing it both ways and whichever one works the best, use that to read and play the rest of the chords.

For more info on chord symbols, go to the Practice Room.  There you will find my detailed post on how to read chord symbols.

Elio  point taken    what if you write everything backwards?  as long as we know you we can interpret.  If you know LGM style and you are in LGM at the time... it's a good chance it's LH/RH

If however, you are reading a piece of sheet music... blah blah blah

it's according to your circumstance.... read into it

Well, thank you, ALL of you (lol), for helpin to clear alla that up. DbKeysinCT, playhear, and T-Block pretty much just summed up what I thought, but I just needed to make sure. I'm a lil new to LGM, so I needed to see how things work round here. Well God bless all of you wonderful talented people!!
