Chord Types
Major Chords
Pressing a single

the same chord.

press the accompaniment
keyboard range key that
corresponds to the major
chord, while also pressing
one other accompaniment
keyboard range key to the
right.
Seventh Chords
To play a seventh chord,
press the accompaniment
keyboard range key that
corresponds to the major
chord, while also pressing
two other accompaniment
keyboard range keys to
the right.
Minor Seventh Chords
To play a minor seventh
chord, press the
accompaniment keyboard
range key that
corresponds to the major
chord, while also pressing
three other
accompaniment keyboard
range keys to the right.
NOTE
• When playing a minor, seventh, or minor seventh chord,
it makes no different whether the additional keys you
press are black or white.
