Abstract
A chord indication apparatus and method and a storage medium are provided which enable the indication of string plucking positions for playing chords with plural kinds of stringed instruments. A ROM stores plural kinds of table data describing string plucking positions for a variety of chords with respect to said plural kinds of stringed instruments. A stringed instrument is designated, for which said string plucking positions should be indicated, among said plural kinds of stringed instruments. When a chord desired to be played is supplied, a CPU retrieves table data corresponding to the designated stringed instrument from the plural kinds of table data stored in the ROM, obtains string plucking positions corresponding to the supplied chord from the retrieved table data, and indicates the obtained string plucking positions.
