The Easy Way to Play Piano Use the Performance Assistant to Play Like a Pro! Here are a few hints for using the Chord type. If you select Chord/Free, the left-hand section of the keyboard becomes the Chord type section, so use these hints on the lefthand section of the keyboard. To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands spread as shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alternately with your left and right hands (any notes will do). Sounds like you're playing the right notes! You will get even better results if you match your left-hand rhythm to rhythm of the chord indicator in the display. How does it sound? You'll get acceptable results no matter where you play thanks to the performance assistant technology Chord type! Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing produce different results. ● Play with the left and right hands at the same timing-type 1. ● Play with the left and right hands at the same timing-type 2. ● Play alternately with the left and right hands-type 3. Play 3 notes at once with your right hand. Play 1 note at a time with your right hand (for example: index finger → middle finger → ring finger). Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a melody with your right ... or any other combination. Play 3 notes at once with your right hand. To use the performance assistant technology feature it is necessary to play a song that includes chord data, or a style with auto accompaniment on. If a song includes the required data, the chords are shown on the right side of the display (page 52). 34 DGX-230/YPG-235 Owner's Manual
