Playing Styles<br />
Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords<br />
Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment.<br />
In this section we’ll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord<br />
sequences.” Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different fingerings of the same<br />
chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge influence on the overall<br />
feel of the music you play.<br />
On page 34 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital<br />
to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take<br />
your accompaniments to a new level.<br />
On these pages we’ll introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the<br />
instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively<br />
creating a complete song.<br />

Before playing the scores follow steps 1 through 3 of “Play Along with a Style” on page 34.<br />
* The scores provided here are not standard song scores, but rather simplified scores that indicate which notes to play to<br />
produce the chord progressions.<br />

—Dance music with simple chords—<br />
This is a simple-but-effective chord progression. When you play through to the end of the score, start<br />
again from the beginning. When you’re ready to stop playing press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button<br />
and the auto accompaniment function will create a perfect ending.<br />
