How to play thread....

How about a thread for anyone learning to play the keyboard or wanting to improve on their playing skills?

I'm sure there's a vast array of people on here from beginner to concert pianist and it would be nice to have a section that deals with playing rather than programming.

I for one am self taught by ear, never had a lesson in my life and probably have loads of bad habbits but would benefit from some guidance/tips on playing for example - How is one supposed to play the GM7(add13) chord with the left hand as I only have 5 fingers and the chord has 7 notes?
or
Is there an idiot proof scientific correct way that says what finger should play which note in a chord and why?

A bit off the beaten track I know but I would be interested in peoples thoughts on this.

you might want to move this thread to general music

didn't you know you had to have 13 fingers to play piano properly?

Thanks
