Standard Fingering

The standard fingering method uses standard formations of three or four notes, and
lets the experienced musician play a wider variety of accompaniment chords.
This chart shows the 15 chord types you can play on your keyboard by using stan-
dard fingering.
Major (M) Minor (m)
Minor 7th (m7) Major 7th (M7)
Major 9th (add9) Minor 9th
(madd9)
Notes:
• You do not have to press the key marked with parentheses on the keyboard in
the preceding chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, 9, or m9 chord.
• This chart shows only one possible fingering position for each chord. It is possi-
ble to play a chord using several different positions. For example, the following
three fingering positions produce the same C chord.
