Standard Fingering
Notes:
• You do not have to press the key
marked with parentheses on the key-
board in the preceding chart to produce
a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9, or madd9
chord.
• This chart shows only one possible fin-
gering position for each chord. It is pos-
sible to play a chord using several
different positions. For example, the fol-
lowing three fingering positions produce
the same C chord.
The standard fingering method uses stan-
dard formations of three or four notes, and
lets the experienced musician play a wider
variety of accompaniment chords.
This chart shows the 15 chord types you can
play on your keyboard by using standard fin-
gering.
• When you play an aug, 7
5
, or dim7
chord, the lowest note you play deter-
mines the root of the chord. Be sure that
your fingering correctly defines the root
you want.
