NOTE
Y See the OFingered Chord Chart� on page A-6 for information
about fingering chords with other roots in the accompaniment
area.
*1: Inverted fingerings are not supported for these chords. The
lowest note fingered is used as the root. See the NOTE below
for more information about inverted chords.
*2: For these chords, the same chord is specified even if the G fifth
is not fingered.
NOTE
Y Except for the chords whose names have *1 after them in the
above examples, you can also use inverted fingerings for
chords. This means, for example, that you could use the
fingering E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G for C major.
Y Except for the chords whose names have *2 after them in the
above examples, you need to press all of the indicated keys
in order to finger a chord. Failure to include even a single
note may produce a chord that is different from the one you
want.
