MINOR CHORD:
(Cm, Fm, Gm, B
b
m, F#m, etc.) Any minor chord can be played with the traditional three
notes or with two notes. An easy-play (MCS) minor chord requires two notes. The first note matches the
letter name of the desired chord (just like a Major chord). To determine the second note, count UP (to the
right) three consecutive notes or keys.
BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE BLACK KEYS WHEN COUNTING UP AND DON’T COUNT THE NOTE YOU ARE
STARTING ON.
For example, to play a
C Minor Chord (Cm)
you need to play a C note and the E flat note to the right of the
C note. Be sure to press both keys down at the same time.
SEVENTH CHORD:
(C7, D7, B
b
7, etc.) Any Seventh chord can be played with the traditional four notes OR
two notes. An easy-play (MCS) Seventh chord requires two notes. The first note matches the letter name of
the desired chord (like a Major chord). To determine the second note, count DOWN (to the left) two con-
secutive notes or keys.
BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE BLACK KEYS WHEN WHEN COUNTING DOWN AND DO NOT COUNT THE NOTE
YOU ARE STARTING ON.
For example, to play a
C7 Chord
, you need to play a C note and the B flat note to the left of that C note. Be
sure to press both at the same time.
