Standard Fingering

• You do not have to press the key marked

with parentheses on the keyboard in the

chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9,

or madd9 chord.

• Although the chart shows only one possible

fingering position for each chord, it is

possible to play a chord using several

different positions. For example, the

following three positions produce the same

C chord.

C D E F G A B C D E F

C D E F G A B C D E F

C D E F G A B C D E F

C D E F G A B C D E F

1. Set POWER/MODE to FINGERED.

• When you play an aug, 7–5, or dim7 chord,

the lowest note you play determines the

root of the chord. Be sure that your

fingering correctly defines the root you

want.

• See “Standard Fingering Chord Charts” on

Page 11 for all the chords you can play on

your keyboard using standard fingering

accompaniment.

The lowest note you play determines the key of the chord. For example, if the lowest note is C, the keyboard plays a C chord. ￿
