Three Tone Chords (Major and Minor)
When playing three tone chords the fingering is based on the natural shape of the hand and the way it fits on the keyboard most easily. So we basically try to make our life as easy as possible without changing our hand position if not necessary.There are two fingering groups for three tone chords played as arpeggios:
1. First note is a white key - (Starting with C,D,E,F,G,A,B)
R.H: 123-123-(5).L.H: (5)-321-321.
2. First note is a black key-(Starting with Db, Eb in major only, F# in minor only, Ab).
RH: 2-124-124.LH: 214-214-2.
Notice that in both cases the thumb will always be placed on the white notes - that's very convenient even for the unskilled hand.So we're basically trying to avoid placing the thumb on a black key.
There are few exceptions to the rules above:
1. When playing an F# major and Eb minor chord we'll apply the same fingering we use when playing a chord with only white keys.
2. The fingering for a Bb major chord in the left hand will be: 321-321-3.
3. The fingering for a Bb minor chord will be 231-231-2 in the right hand and 321-321-3 in the left hand.
Four Tone Chords - Dominant 7th
When playing four tone chords we still apply the rules we've learn in the three tone chords.1. First note is a white key - (C7, D7, E7, F7, G7, A7, and B7)
RH: 1234-1234-(5)L.H. (5)-4321-4321
LH: (5)-4321-4321
When we descend we keep the same fingering order. You can see the
order of the ascending scale in the example above. However if you read
this exercise from right to left you'll be playing the order of the
descending scale.
2. First note is a black key - (Db7, Eb7, and Ab7)
RH: 4-1234-1234LH: 21-4321-432
