Standard Fingering

The standard fingering method uses standard formations of three or four notes, and
lets the experienced musician play a wider variety of accompaniment chords.

This chart shows the 15 chord types you can play on your keyboard by using stan-
dard fingering.

Notes:

• You do not have to press the key marked with parentheses on the keyboard in

the preceding chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, 9, or m9 chord.

• This chart shows only one possible fingering position for each chord. It is possi-

ble to play a chord using several different positions. For example, the following
three fingering positions produce the same C chord.
