5. Check to make sure that the chord name on the dis- play is the one you want. If it isn’t, repeat the above from step 2.

6. If the chord is correct, you can see its fingering on the graphic keyboard. Try playing the chord on the key- board.

<Example>

•The fingering that appears on the display is one standard fingering. You can also use other fingerings to match the size of your hands or to make it easier to progress from or to neighboring chords.

•You can also use the [+] and [–] buttons to change the dis- played chord name.

•The tone used to sound chords you play on the accompani- ment keyboard while using the Chord Book is the same tone used by the accompaniment part of the rhythm that was se- lected before you entered the Chord Book mode. Depending on the rhythm that was selected, some of the notes that make up a chord may be omitted when you play the chord on the accompaniment keyboard in the Chord Book Mode. This is due to the internal chord conversion function, arrangements, and polyphony limitations. Because of this, you should al- ways play the chords indicated on the display on the melo- dy keyboard (the range that does not have chord names print- ed above the keys).
