Standard Fingering
The standard fingering method uses standard formations of three or four notes, and lets the experienced musician play a wider variety of accompaniment chords.

Notes:
•You do not have to press the key marked with parentheses on the keyboard in the preceding chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, 9, or m9 chord.
