Hi! I think this would be useful. ^_^
You can count piano keys to know all the major chords (include the black keys on the counting). It’s just 4keys-3keys. For example, for C chord, from C, count 4 keys to the right, and you get E; then 3 keys to the right again, you get G. Same goes for every major chord.
For minor chords, count 3keys-4keys.
Hope this helps!
