How to Play Chords
The way you finger chords depends on the current
Auto Accompaniment mode. If you want to play
without Auto Accompaniment, use the NORMAL
mode.
CASIO CHORD
Even if you do not know how to play chords normally,
this mode lets you play four different types of chords
using simplified fingerings in the accompaniment
keyboard range of the keyboard. The following shows
where the accompaniment keyboard range is located,
and explains how to finger chords in the CASIO
