Standard Fingering
•
You do not have to press the key marked
with parentheses on the keyboard in the
chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9,
or madd9 chord.
•
Although the chart shows only one possible
fingering position for each chord, it is
possible to play a chord using several
different positions. For example, the
following three positions produce the same
C chord.
•
When you play an aug, 7–
5
, or dim7 chord,
the lowest note you play determines the
root of the chord. Be sure that your
fingering correctly defines the root you
want.
•
See “Standard Fingering Chord Charts” on
Page 13 for all the chords you can play on
your keyboard using standard fingering
accompaniment.
Using the Chord Book
•
If the chord is not recognized by the
keyboard, only a dash appears.
•
Since the keyboard automatically changes
some chords so you can play them on the
accompaniment keyboard, the keyboard
might display some chords in inverted form.
•
The keyboard does not display some
chords because the chords cannot be
played within the accompaniment
keyboard’s range. See “Standard Fingering
Chord Charts” on Page 13 for more
information.
