Standard Fingering
The standard fingering method uses standard formations of 3–4 notes, and lets the
experienced musician play a wider variety of accompaniment chords. You can play
these 15 chord types on your MD-1600, in any key, using the standard fingering
method.
Notes:
To produce a simple variation of a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9, or madd9 chord, you
can omit the finger positions shown in parentheses (on the keys).
When producing an aug, 7-5, or dim7 chord, the lowest note you play determines
the root of the chord. Be sure your fingering correctly defines the root you want.
The diagrams above show only one possible fingering position for each chord. It
is possible to play a chord using several different positions. For example, these
three fingering positions produce the same C chord.
