See the "Fingered Chord Chart" on page A-4 for details on
playing chords with other roots.
*1: Inverted fingerings cannot be used. The lowest note is the
root.
*2: The same chord can be played without pressing the 5th G.
NOTE
• Except for the chords specified in note
fingerings (i.e. playing E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-
G) will produce the same chords as the standard
fingering.
• Except for the exception specified in note
the keys that make up a chord must be pressed. Failure
to press even a single key will not play the desired
FINGERED chord.
