you would on a piano, inside the accompaniment
keyboard range. To specify a C-chord, you would play
C-E-G.

NOTE
• 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*
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*
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.
