(1) BASIC CHORD TYPES
There are several basic chord types that appear in most music. Below is a list of these chords and the way they would appear
as chord symbols in the key of C:
MAJOR: C, C Major, C Maj
MAJOR SEVENTH: C Major7, C Maj7, CM7
MINOR: Cm, C minor, Cmin
MINOR SEVENTH: Cm7, C minor 7, Cmin7
DOMINANT SEVENTH: C7
(2) QUICK CHORD FORMULAS
To play any chord, first identify the "root" note. If the chord is "Fm7", the root note is "F'". Now use these simple formulas
to play chords:
MAJOR CHORDS:
Play the root note only. If the chord is "G-Major", just play "G".
MAJOR SEVENTH:
Play the root note plus one note below the root. If the chord is "D Maj7", play the root note D plus the "Csharp" just below
it. For "F Maj7"', play the root note B oe the E below it.
MINOR CHORDS:
Play the root note plus the third note above the root. Make sure you count black and white keys. For "Dmin", play the
root note D plus the third note above, which is F. For "Gmin", play G and Bflat.
MINOR SEVENTH:
This one gets tricky. Play the root note, plus the third note above the root and the second note below the root. For "Dm7",
play the root note D, the third note above (F) and the second note below the root (C). If this is too difficult, just use the
MINOR CHORD formula shown above.
DOMINANT SEVENTH:
Play the root note plus the second note below the root. For "G7", play the root note G and the second note below it (F).
For "C7", play C and B-flat.
Kawai hopes these quick formulas will help you to get started. But we hope you won't stop here. We encourage you to
- study the wide range of chord forms that your X65-D will recognize and learn to play them in all keys.
You'll find that the more time you invest in learning chords, the more musical enjoyment you'll receive from your keyboard.
Enjoy the "adventure" of learning music! And thank you for choosing Kawai!
