Learning to play piano POST theory + a Scales/Chord chart?

[Yumid]

So awhile ago I decided that I was going to learn theory first before applying it to an instrument, so when it came time to learn an instrument the 'hard, boring' stuff would be out of the way and I could just sit down and play/have some fun with learning.

SO, I'm passed that point now and I'm ready to just sit down and learn how to play piano in real time.

-I can find any key on the piano as fast as I need to already
-I can FIGURE out relatively quickly what notes are on sheet music but not quick enough to play in real time.
-I can FIGURE out how to build the main 7 chords in a scale, but again, not quick enough for real time playing(including their intervals, 7ths, 9ths, etc..)
-I still have to count the intervals on the piano keys sometimes when building certain chords in certain scales. So I'm far from being comfortable with playing chords in scales. Which is what I need.


My end goal isn't to be an immaculate keyboard player. I just want to be able to listen to a vocal track or something and record a rough demo chord progression for the whole song in real time. So I can move onto layering and building everything off that chord progression.

I feel the biggest thing holding me back in my producing is that I don't have a rough demo to base my whole song off of. I usually just try making it up for each section as I go because I cant play in real time. Would be a lot easier if I had a 'chord template' for the entire song before I start actually building and layering it.

So basically I have the theory down, but now I need suggestions on where to start and how to start practicing? Im pretty sure the logical place would be to learn each scale and learn all the chords/a few songs in that scale before moving onto the next scale. I just really want to be able to sit down, know my scale, then play a rough demo in real time over a vocal track. And I need the quickest way to get there as I am super busy with other stuff. Piano isn't really near the top of my priorities right now but its something I've wanted to get started ASAP so its just done and over with. Because it WILL be the single best investment of time as far as my producing goes, its just right now producing isn't my priority.


Sidenote- I was just going to write it all down by hand, but does anyone have a list of EVERY chord in EVERY scale laid out nice and organized telling which degree in the scale that chord is, etc... I have seen bandcoach's 'chord fingering chart' post but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. It was almost TOO detailed.. I just want a list of the scale, then the main chords in that scale. Also maybe some sheet music I can practice looking at for easy example songs in that scale?

there are a few posts that address your question without diagrams - the diagrams in fact were a response to providing that information without the encumbrance of a specific key as chords are free to roam to any key if you know who to manipulate them

there is also a specific scale only diagram somewhere here

I'll have a hunt around later and get back to you

All of my charts

All scales/modes: no fingerings given (see this for which fingers to use)

Scales - Major, Natural, Harmonic and Melodic Minor keyboard fingerings
Modes - Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian and Phrygian keyboard fingerings
Scales - Major pentatonic vsn 1, Major pentatonic vsn 2, Minor Pentatonic and Blues keyboard fingerings

I have another 2000+ scale forms to share if you really want to know (some are very esoteric, some are just different names for the same collection of notes based on geographic usage)

Names of chords in each key

Harmonic Minor Chord names all keys
Major Chord names all keys
Melodic Minor Chord names all keys
Natural Minor Chord names all keys

Chord diagrams to be used to decipher the above

All note names - Keyboard fingerings for basic triads
Suspended chords: Keyboard Fingerings Chart
Major 7ths: maj7/maj7#5/Maj7b5/Majb5: Keyboard Fingerings Chart
Minor with a major 7th: Min-maj7/min-maj7#5/min-maj7b5/minor#5: Keyboard Fingerings Chart
Minor 7ths: m7/m7#5/m7b5: Keyboard Fingerings Chart

Perfect this is exactly what I wanted. Right now I'm not really to worried about being able to play the 7, 9, sus, intervals in real time. My short term goal is to just be able to memorize and finger the main degree chords in the scale (above) while playing my song in key in real time. For now Ill just work on being able to lay out the basic triad progressions in real time then invert or add on 7s,9s,etc.. later on when I'm doing my more detailed editing/layering. All I really wanna be able to do(for now) is record a template for the song. Can be achieved with learning what I just mentioned right?? Don't wanna confuse myself yet, which is exactly what happened when I started opening those last 6 links you posted haha.

For the first step I'm just gonna focus on memorizing and learning how to play all the chords in order in their scale based on the 4 links I quoted. Then ill look for some 'beginner' level songs to practice in each scale as i progress through them. Any songs come to mind that only use the basic 'main degree' chords in the scale and doesnt modulate to any other chords or borrow any?
