chord" function. The left section of the keyboard is known
as the "chord area", while playing the chord, both the bass

nearest black key to the left of it .

nearest white key to the left of it .

To play a minor seventh chord

Press the root notes together with
the nearest white and black keys to
the left of it (three keys altogether) .

in the accompaniment range of the keyboard.

Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional;
the chords could be recognized without them.

finger chords.

priority, some chords that could be played under the Chord Dictio­nary may not be recognised by A.B.C. , eg. B6｡bB6｡B6(9)｡

bB6｣9｣｡Baug｡bBaug｡bBm6｡Bm6｡Adim7｡bBdim7｡Bdim.
