e Playing Styles
This instrument has an auto accompaniment feature that produces
accompaniment (rhythm + bass + chords) in the style you choose to
match chords you play with your left hand. You can select from 155 dif-
ferent styles covering a range of musical genres and time signatures
(see page 112 for a complete list of the available styles).
In this section we’ll learn how to use the auto accompaniment features.
