Yah, sorry, I don't know much about this stuff.  I generally place my
elbow on the piano.

Yah, I suppose I can simulate strumming simplistically by starting each
note of the chord a fraction of a second after the last.  That seems

The hard part, for me, is knowing which 6 notes correspond to Am with
Capodaster on 4e fret (or whatever).
