[. . . ] 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), sus2. 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 YPT-410 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. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want to quickly learn how to play it. 1 Press and hold the LESSON [START] button for longer than a second. 3 Press the "M7" (major seventh) key in Hold for longer than a second Dict. the section of the keyboard labeled "CHORD TYPE". (The note doesn't sound. ) The notes you should play for the specified chord (root note and chord type) are shown in the display, both as notation and in the keyboard diagram. 2 As an example, we'll learn how to play a GM7 (G major seventh) chord. Press the "G" key in the section of the keyboard labeled "ROOT". (The note doesn't sound. ) The root note you set is shown in the display. Notation of chord Chord name (root and type) Dict. 001 Individual notes of chord (keyboard) Dict. 001 To call up possible inversions of the chord, press the [+]/[-] buttons. NOTE · About major chords: Simple major chords are usually indicated only by the root note. For example, "C" refers to C major. However, when specifying major chords here, make sure to select "M" (major) after pressing the root note. 4 Try playing a chord in the auto accom- paniment section of the keyboard, checking the indications in the display. When you've played the chord properly, a bell sound signals your success and the chord name in the display flash.
