The Chord Assist Function
The Chord Assist function is essentially an electronic “chord book” that will show you appropriate fingerings for
chords you enter via the display. The fingerings are indicated by dots on the graphic keyboard in the display, and
correspond to those recognized in the ABC FINGERED 1 mode. You can also play chords on the keyboard in the
same way as in the ABC FINGERED 1 mode.
