*1 With this chords, the lowest note in your fingering is always used as the root.
Make sure that your fingering correctly identifies the root you want to use.
Important!
• If you play one or two notes only in the left hand, or three notes that do not make
up a recognizable chord formation, no sound will be produced. FINGERED
mode requires a conventional three or four-note chord formation to produce an
auto-accompaniment. Also, note that auto-chords only work in conjunction with
rhythm patterns, and not independently of them.
Notes
• The above examples show only one of the possible fingerings for each chord. Note
that you can play the notes that form a chord in any combination. Each of the
following fingerings for example, produces the same C chord.
