Notes:

To produce a chord using one less key, you can omit the finger position shown in parentheses (if any) for that chord.

The diagrams above show only one possible fingering position for each chord. It is possible to play a chord using several different positions. For example, the following three fingering positions produce the same C chord.

See “Standard Fingering Chord Chart” on Page 22 for a list of all the chords you can play on your Concertmate 575 using standard fingering accompaniment.
