Use the Performance Assistant to Play Like a Pro!
To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands
spread as shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alter-
nately with your left and right hands (any notes will do).
How does it sound? You’ll get acceptable results no matter where
you play thanks to performance assistant technology!
Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways
of playing produce different results.
Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and
a melody with your right ... or any other combination.
To use the performance assistant technology feature it is necessary to play a song that includes chord data, or a
style with auto accompaniment on.
If a song includes the required data, the chords are shown on the right side of the display (page 59).
You will get even better
results if you match your
left-hand rhythm to the
rhythm of the chord indica-
tor in the display.
