Recommended notes for the Chord Match phrase
If you intend to create a Chord Match phrase, use the notes of C, D, E, G, A and B, or in other words, play the
phrase in the key of C major. This ensures that the phrase will stay harmonically constant and match whichever
chord you play in the left hand section of the keyboard.
