Notes:
You do not have to press the key
marked with parentheses on the
keyboard in the preceding chart to
produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9, or
madd9 chord.
This chart shows only one possible
fingering position for each chord. It
is possible to play a chord using
several different positions. For
example, the following three finger-
ing positions produce the same C
chord.
When you play an aug, 7
5
, or dim7
chord, the lowest note you play
determines the root of the chord. Be
sure that your fingering correctly
defines the root you want.
