Just a comment about "one finger" chords...I believe this to be true with Yamaha and Casio...I recall one of these companies has the non musical design...root and next key to the right makes a minor chord etc....it is so wrong to use
...
Right on the money, Fran. I never did "get" Yamaha's idea of making chords with adjacent keys. Talk about setting a person off on the wrong foot.
Me neither, guys...it's definitely a stupid system, as are all "easy play" chording systems...they are all very limiting to what type chords can be played. Deciding which one is worse, is like deciding which leg you'd rather have amputated.
By the time you learn how to use the "simple" or "intelligent" system, you may as well have spent the time learning how to play chords properly.
No matter what
simple chord system being used, it just further pushes home that these arrangers like Tyros4, PA3X and G-70 are basically fancier (and pricier)
home units...but some enterprising musicians use them for gigging.
