Playing Style with the Smart Chord feature If you want to fully enjoy playing in various Styles but don't know how to play the appropriate chords, set the Chord Fingering type to Smart Chord. This lets you control Styles with just a single finger, as long as you know the key of the music you're playing-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. Try out the Smart Chord feature with the following sample score. Simply play the root notes of the chords indicated in this score with your left hand as you play the melody with your right hand, and listen to how the chords with their notes and voicings match the music genre you've set.  "Home Sweet Home" Chord section T h A# e l Bb o w e s t C# D# Db Eb F# G# A# Gb Ab Bb C# D# Db Eb F# G# A# Gb Ab Bb C# D# F# Db Eb Gb ABCDE FGABCDEFGABCDEF • Style: 70sPopDuo • Key Signature: F Major (b*1) • Type: Standard Key Signature (Key in F major) F C7 F & b c œ œ . œJ œ œ ˙ C7 œ œ œ. œj œ œ F Chord Types ˙. œ Styles 3 C7 F C7 F 5 & b œ . œJ œ œ ˙ œœ œ. œj œ œ ˙. œ F Bb F C7 F 9 &b œ. œJ œ œ ˙ j œ œ ˙ . œ F Bb F 13 &b œ. œJ œ œ ˙ #F dim7 C7/G C7 F œœ œ. œj œ œ w F 17 & b ww #C dim7 Dm C F ˙˙ ˙˙ ˙˙ ˙˙ ˙˙ .. œ F Bb F 21 &b œ. œJ œ œ ˙ #F dim7 Gm7 C7 F w Try also selecting Style Easy Swing (via the [STANDARDS & JAZZ] button) by using this score.
