Old threads seem to be alot more interesting than new ones.

It's not actually true that guitar chords and piano chords are the same. A note is a note, but people assume if you play guitar you can play piano too, it's so much different.

Piano chords use different voicings than a guitar. On some software you can alter the voicings to make it sound realistic.

A guitar bar chord...take c major. The notes are C-G-C(again, one octave up), E

In open position, it be c-e-g-c octave, and e octave if you feel like hitting it

Also two note bar chords, like a power chord, C-G only, sounds very stupid on the piano, but is a mainstay in rock.

Usually whoever is playing the instrument will play the chord as it's normally played on their instrument, so if you just say F major, then everybody does f major the way its done on the instrument.

But voicings are important, if a guitar and piano are recorded together, it sounds cluttered when the voicings are different. Sometimes it works out too.
