Playing Style With The Smart Chord Feature; Feature - Yamaha DGX-670 Reference Manual

Playing Style with the Smart Chord feature

If you want to fully enjoy playing in various Styles but don't know how to play the appropriate chords, set the
Chord Fingering type to Smart Chord. This lets you control Styles with just a single finger, as long as you
know the key of the music you're playing—even if you don't know any chord fingering such as major, minor,
diminished and so on. Appropriate chords suited for the music genre will sound whenever you press a single
note, as if you were playing the "right" chords.
Try out the Smart Chord feature with the following sample score. Simply play the root notes of the chords
indicated in this score with your left hand as you play the melody with your right hand, and listen to how the
chords with their notes and voicings match the music genre you've set.
 "Home Sweet Home"
