How to Play G#m on Piano
The G# Minor chord sounds dark and inward. It stacks 3 notes: G# – B – D#.

Where it sits
2 notes of this chord (G#, D#) are on black keys, so play it a little further back on the keys than an all-white shape.
Press all 3 keys at the same time. Keep your wrist relaxed and your fingers curved. The blue dots on the piano below show exactly which keys to press — they turn green when you play the right note.
