To call up possible inversions of the chord, press
the [+]/[-] buttons.

indicated only by the root note. For example, “C” refers
to C major. However, when specifying major chords
here, make sure to select “M” (major) after pressing the
root note.
• Be aware that the chord types explained here are the
left-hand notes applied to various styles and different
