Fingered Mode for Keyboards
|
On electronic keyboards and digital pianos with built-in accompaniments, by playing a chord in the left area (bass area) of the keyboard, you can trigger the built-in accompaniment section.
The accompaniment section usually has five tracks played by various instruments. Drums, bass, & rhythmic chords are played as part of these tracks.
When you play a chord, all the tracks in the accompaniment section begins to play and you will suddenly find a band playing along with you.
Accompaniment Modes
You can trigger the accompaniments in an electronic musical instrument by playing the chords in three different modes: single finger mode, fingered mode and full fingered mode.In the single and fingered mode, you need to play the chord towards the left of the keyboard - the bass area, whereas in the fingered mode you can play it anywhere on the electronic musical keyboard.
Single Finger mode: You need to press only one note i.e. the key note of the chord to trigger the accompaniment section.
Fingered: You need to play all the notes of the chord to trigger the accompaniment section.
Full Fingered: You can play the chord anywhere on the keyboard and the accompaniment section will recognize it and start playing.
Almost all the types of chords – major, minor, sevenths, diminished, augmented, ninths, elevenths, thirteenths etc. are recognized by an electronic musical instrument.
So play any chord and the accompaniment will respond to it!
Play Piano Style!
Most of the beginners find the single finger mode very tempting to use just because it is very easy to play. It may be okay to begin with, but then I would recommend that you do not stick to it for a long period of time!It is advisable to learn the proper chords and start playing in the Fingered mode as soon as you have learnt to play some chords.
Once you are comfortable playing chords, you can gradually move on to the full fingered mode.
Those of you, who have learnt the piano or wish to play the piano, will love the full fingered mode. You can play the chords anywhere on the keyboard and the accompaniment will recognize it and play accordingly.
