Chords are what make music interesting and give it character. They are some of the most basic and important things for every pianist to know, and they're really easy to learn! There are just a few simple rules to know, plus a bit of practice.
Piano fingering refers to finger placement on the piano keyboard, and the hand techniques used to play the piano. Fingers 1, 3, 5 can be used to play most chords - certainly major and minor chords. note: If you’re playing left-hand chords, start with the pinky finger of your left hand (LH 5) on the root note. For right-hand chords, play the root note with RH 1 — your thumb.

Starting out with major chords
Major chords are perhaps the most frequently used, most familiar, and easiest chords to play. It’s a good bet that most folk and popular songs you know have one or two major chords.
You create major chords from the notes and intervals of a major scale. You build a major chord by starting out with a root note and then adding other notes from the desired chord’s scale. Major chords are so common that The chords are named with just the name of the root, and musicians rarely say “major.” Instead, they just say the name of the chord and use a chord symbol to indicate the name of the chord. So when building a C major chord, you play the root note C, and add the third and fifth notes (or third and fifth intervals) from the C major scale on top of the root note we play C, E, G.
Chords can also be played in different ways but will still sound the same. EX
