Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can
be recognized in the Fingered mode.
Fingered Chords in the Key of C
If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the EZ-20 will still recog-
nize it as a C chord. The chord recognition system also has the following rules and
exceptions:
Major 6th chords are recognized only in root position. However, all other inver-
sions are interpreted as minor 7th.
Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position. However, all other inver-
sions are interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th.
If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be rec-
ognized as the root.
7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or the flat-
ted 7th.
Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented
and diminished.
The following chords are not recognized: B 6, Bb 6, B minor 6, Bb minor 6, and B
augmented.
