The number of notes you have to play for the backing tracks to detect a chord depends on the settings in the Chord Recognition mode (page 11 of Global mode).

This can be changed to even include the “easy” fingered method as adopted by Yamaha for the more novice player. See the manual pg. 131 for more information.
