[. . . ] A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale). 3rd In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the "root" of the chord (this is the chord's "root position" . . . using other chord notes for the lowest note results in "inversions"). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third. Major third­four half steps (semitones) Minor third­three half steps (semitones) Root 3rd The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below. Major chord CM Minor chord Cm Augmented chord Caug Diminished chord Cdim Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord "voicings"). Reading Chord Names Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses . . . all at a glance.

NOTE · Notes in parentheses can be omitted. · Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root. · A perfect fifth (1+5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords. · The chord fingerings listed are all in "root" position, but other inversions can be used--with the following exceptions: m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), 1+2+5. NOTE · Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted. · The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e. g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh). · Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord. 76 PSR-41 Owner's Manual Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions Looking Up Chords Using the Chord Dictionary The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in "chord book" that shows you the individual notes of chords. When you locate a function you want to set up, simply select the function's display name (shown to the right of the function name in the list) and adjust as required. Selecting and Setting Functions 1 Find the function you want to set in the list that begins on page 83. 2 Press the [FUNCTION] button. 3 Select a function. Press the CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons as many times as necessary until the function's display name appears in the display. f r e The Functions 4 Use the dial, the [+] and [-] buttons, or the [0]­[9] number buttons to set the selected function as required. The [+] and [-] buttons are used to make ON/ OFF type settings: [+] = ON, [-] = OFF. In some cases the [+] button will initiate execution of the selected function, and the [-] will cancel the selection.
