How to play F♯ on piano

The F♯ chord is F♯ A♯ C♯: F♯ (root), A♯ (major 3rd), C♯ (perfect 5th).

Right hand: thumb on F♯, then fingers 3 and 5 on A♯ and C♯. Left hand: finger 5 on F♯, 3 and 1 on the notes above.

Each inversion moves the bottom note up an octave. Practicing them in a row teaches your hand the same chord in three shapes, so you can reach it from wherever your hand already is.
