NOTE

Notes in parentheses can be omitted.

Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves pro- duces accompaniment based only on the root.

A perfect fifth (1+5) pro- duces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords.

The chord fingerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be used—with the following exceptions: m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), 1+2+5

Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not rec- ognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted.

The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords fol- lowed by the minor sev- enth).

Two-note fingerings will pro- duce a chord based on the previously played chord.
