• It makes no difference whether you press
black or white keys to the right of a major
chord key when playing minor and seventh
chords.

different chord types. The following describes the
FINGERED "accompaniment keyboard" and

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.
*3: The same chord can be played without pressing
the 3rd E.
*4: The first inversion is not supported, but the
second and third inversions are available.
NOTE
• Except for the chords specified in note
above, inverted 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
and note *3 above, all of the keys that make
up a chord must be pressed. Failure to press
even a single key will not play the desired
FINGERED chord.
