more

Playing
of
the
chords
is
simplified
as
shown
below:
*
Pressing
one
of
the
accompaniment
keyboard
keys
produces
a
major
chord
corresponding
to
that
note.
*
Simultaneously
pressing
any
key
to
the
right
(two
keys
at
the

time)
results
in
a
minor
chord.
*
Similarly,
pressing
one
more
key
to
the
right
(three
keys
in
all)
produces
a
seventh
chord,
and
pressing
the
fourth
key

right
(four
keys

creates
a
minor

chord.
