The answer is both yes and no, depending on what you mean by "same." The notes themselves can be the same: The core concept of chords – combining notes to create a specific harmony – applies to both guitars and pianos. To create a C major chord, for example, you play C, E, and G on both...

The answer is both yes and no, depending on what you mean by "same." The notes themselves can be the same: The core concept of chords – combining notes to create a specific harmony – applies to both guitars and pianos. To create a C major chord, for example, you play C, E, and G on both instruments. However, the voicing and voicings can differ: This is where things get interesting. Here's why: Physical layout:Pianos have multiple strings per note, allowing for more flexibility in how chords are played (voicing). A pianist can choose which octave to play each note in the chord, creating different voicings and sounds. Guitars, with their single strings per note (except for 12-string guitars), have more limitations in voicing chords due to the fixed positions of the notes on the fretboard. Playing techniques:Pianos use two hands, allowing them to play multiple notes of a chord spread out across the instrument. Guitars typically use one hand for chords, often with some notes omitted due to fingering limitations. So, while the core notes of a chord can be the same on both instruments, the way they are arranged and played (voicing) can be quite different. This is why a C major chord on a piano might sound fuller and richer than a C major chord on a guitar. read less

I'll keep it short, In music theory, the notes remain the same, but how you play them varies from instrument to instrument.
