Selecting a Rhythm

NOTE

•It makes no difference whether you press black or white keys to the right of a major chord key when playing minor and seventh chords.

FINGERED

FINGERED provides you with a total of 12 different chord types. The following describes the FINGERED “accompaniment keyboard” and “melody keyboard”, and tells you how to play a C-root chord using FINGERED.

See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-4 for details on playing chords with other roots.

*1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the root.

*2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.

*3: The same chord can be played without pressing the 3rd E.

*4: The first inversion is not supported, but the

second and third inversions are available.

NOTE

•Except for the chords specified in note*1 above, inverted fingerings (i.e. playing E-G- C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G) will produce the same chords as the standard fingering.

•Except for the exception specified in note*2 and note*3 above, all of the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press even a single key will not play the desired FINGERED chord.
