About Fingertips – Just Play Chords

Welcome to Fingertips – Just Play Chords, a calm, practical way to explore piano and keyboard playing through chords.

Fingertips is designed for beginners and improvers who want to play real music without getting lost in complicated theory. Instead of working through a fixed course, you can dip in whenever you sit down at the keyboard — learning new chords, revisiting familiar shapes, or exploring sounds that catch your ear.

The focus throughout is on chords as physical shapes and musical tools, supported by colour-coded chord families, clear hand-position photographs, and simple visual diagrams. This approach helps you build confidence, recognise patterns, and understand how chords actually work in music.

Fingertips continues to grow and currently includes:

A large, structured chord library with hand photos and diagrams
Colour-coded chord families to help you recognise related sounds
Practical tips, progressions, and song-based examples that rotate over time
A developing Songs section showing how chords work in real music

Whether you’re starting from scratch or returning to the piano after time away, Fingertips is there to support your playing — at your own pace, in your own way.
