In sheet music notation, there is a lack of uniformity in writing chord symbols. For example the C major seventh chord can be written as "Cmaj7" (used in this book), "CN7" or "CM7". The following table outlines the symbols used in this book, together with correct pronunciation and alternative symbols used for each chord type.
In sheet music, chord symbols which indicate the bass note to play are sometimes used. For example, C/G indicates a C chord with a G bass note (it may also be written C/G bass). The bass note will not always be a note of the chord; for example, Am/G is an A minor chord with a G bass note, which could also be called Am7.
This is a sixteenth note. It lasts for one quarter of a beat. There are four sixteenth notes in one beat. There are 16 sixteenth notes in one bar of * time.
Example 162 uses sixteenth notes only in groups of four repeated notes to each beat.
Example 163 combines sixteenth notes and rests which creates a broken up feel.
