Notes in parentheses can be omit-
ted.
Playing two same root keys in the
adjacent octaves produces accom-
paniment based only on the root.
A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces
accompaniment based only on the
root and fifth which can be used
with both major and minor chords.
The chord fingerings listed are all
in “root” position, but other inver-
sions can be used — with the fol-
lowing exceptions:
m7, m7
b
5, 6, m6, sus4, aug,
dim7, 7
b
5, 6(9), sus2.
Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11)
chords are not recognized if the
notes shown in parentheses are
omitted.
The auto accompaniment will
sometimes not change when related
chords are played in sequence (e.g.
some minor chords followed by the
minor seventh).
Two-note fingerings will produce a
chord based on the previously
played chord.
It may occur that the chord name
indication shown in the MAIN dis-
play may not match that of the song
data, even though the actual note/
chord is the same. For example, a
C
#
chord may actually be indicated
as D
b
.
