Playing a Rhythm

NOTE

•With the rhythms listed below, make sure that CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected before you try playing chords. The volume of percussion instruments is very low, and percussion is inserted in a way that does not interfere with the overall mood of the rhythm.
