How to use this piano chord book

Thank you for purchasing this chord book! We show you 312 piano chords with suggested finger settings in an alphabetical order. Below you can see an explanation on how to read the chord diagrams including a picture on how the fingers of the right and left hand are numbered. Probably you'll know this already but we thought, we better tell something old, than let you use this book with no instructions at all!

Because of the miracle, called the piano, there are lots of ways to play a single chord (every note has multiple locations on the keyboard). We’ve chosen for every chord the less or more easiest way to play the chord in root or narrow position. It might be that you want to use an inversion of the illustrated chord. In that case you can inverse the chord yourself by using the overview pages in the back of this book. Here you will find the notes that every chord exists of in a logical order.
