Basic Guide Playing Styles Using the Smart Chord feature If you want to fully enjoy playing in various Styles but don't know how to play the appropriate chords, Smart Chord is very useful. This function lets you control Styles with just a single finger as long as you know the key of your playing music, even if you don't know any chord fingering such as major, minor, diminished and so on. Appropriate chords suited for the music genre will sound whenever you press a single note, as if you were playing the "right" chords.
