Playing Chords Along With Chord Progressions of a Song
Song numbers 115 to 154 in the “Chord Progression” category are constructed from typ-
ical chord progressions. You can listen to and get a feel for the chord progressions by
playing back the Song and playing the keyboard while looking at the notes shown on the
display. The number of keys that are indicated for you to play progress in sequence—
from a single root note, to two notes, then three and four—getting you to gradually and
naturally memorize the chords. Also, you can change the key of the Song, allowing you
to practice the progressions in all keys for full mastery of the chords.
