Playing a Rhythm
E-15
NOTE
With the rhythms listed below, make sure that CASIO
CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is
selected before you try playing chords. The volume of
percussion instruments is very low, and percussion is
inserted in a way that does not interfere with the overall
mood of the rhythm.
