6 Start the style and accompaniment by playing a chord (in the “auto accompaniment” area of the keyboard).

Even if you don’t know how to play a chord, you can easily play the accompani- ment! Simply use the “single finger” method (page 48) to play chords. And if you want to learn chords, use the convenient Chord Dictionary (page 50). Just specify the chord name, and it shows you what keys to play.
