Seventh Chords
The next type of chord you will learn to play is called a seventh chord. A seventh chord is indicated by the number 7 written after the chord name. The fingering you use to play a seventh chord will depend on which brand of keyboard you own. In this book we give the two most common fingerings, Type 1 fingering, e.g., Yamaha keyboards, and Type 2 fingering, e.g., Casio keyboards. If you have another brand of keyboard, check in your owner’s manual to see which fingering should be used.
