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.
