•
Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
•
Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompa-
niment 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 inversions
can be used—with the following exceptions: m7, m7
b
5, 6, m6, sus4,
aug, dim7, 7
b
5, 6(9), sus2.
NOTE
•
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.
•
Some chords may not be recognized depending on the selected pat-
tern.
