Automatic Accompaniment

The “Chord Intelligence” feature allows you to have chords be recognized even though you’ve pressed only one or two keys when
using automatic accompaniment.
To play a “C” chord, for example, you normally have to play the three keys C, E, and G. But with Chord Intelligence, you only have to
press the C key to start a “C” chord accompaniment.

For more information about chord fingering, refer to “Chord List” (p. 220).

Playing Chords with Simple Fingering (Chord Intelligence)

About Chords

A chord is produced when several notes are played simultaneously. Chords are indicated by the pitch of the fundamental note
of the chord (the root) and the chord type, which is determined by the other notes of the chord.
For example, the C m chord is expressed in terms of the root note “C” and the chord type “m” (minor). C m is made up of the
three notes “C,” “E ” and “G.” “C m” is indicated as the chord name on the Basic screen.
All chord roots are indicated as a letter, sometimes with or added, and correspond to the notes shown below.
