Standard Fingering
The standard fingering method uses standard formations of three or four notes, and
lets the experienced musician play a wider variety of accompaniment chords.
You can play the following 14 chord types on your Concertmate 690, in any key, us-
ing the standard fingering method. 
Notes: 
• To produce a simple variation of a Cm7, Cmaj7, Cdim, or CmM7 chord, omit
the finger positions shown in parentheses (on the keys).
• The diagram above shows only one possible finger position for each chord. It is
possible to play a chord using several different finger positions. For example,
the following three finger positions produce the same C chord.
