be recognized in the Fingered mode.
Fingered Chords in the Key of C

nize it as a C chord. The chord recognition system also has the following rules and
exceptions:
•
Major 6th chords are recognized only in root position. However, all other inver-
sions are interpreted as minor 7th.
•
Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position. However, all other inver-
sions are interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th.
•
If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be rec-
ognized as the root.
•
7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or the flat-
ted 7th.
•
Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented
and diminished.
