FD covered the idea of voicings already...

As I re read Everettes post, i think he is asking a more basic question than what I had thought. I believe he simply wanted to know if he writes a song on guitar with the chords C-F-AM G7, and writes that down, will somebody on piano be able to play it and it be the same thing.

In short the answer to that one would be yes, I cant tell you how many times i yelled out the chords while playing to a piano player. They
will just do C F AM G7 in the basic way on piano.

Voicings complicate it, and if you had a specific way you played your song, say you were using a capo and were playing high chords, using capo way up the neck changes the whole feel and sound of it, and it may not translate perfectly just playing standard voicings on piano.

But I doubt Everett remembers the question it was asked in 2013
