ABC Fingering Chart
This chart shows the chord fingerings recognized by the QS300 ABC system. Three-, 4-, and 5-note fingerings can be used, depending on the inversion and tensions required. In
the fingerings “1” is the root, “3” is the third, “7” is the seventh, and so on. The “Comment” column indicates inversions that should be avoided because they produce a different
chord.
