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. The 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.
NOTE
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.
