[MusicTlk] Piano, correct fingering, left-hand, two chords

[Ella Yu]

As for not using thumbs on black keys, that really depends on context. For
playing chords involving black keys you will need to use your thumb a lot
but for singular notes that happens far less frequently. Also, for the D7
chord do you mean D major 7 or D dominant 7? Either way, the fingering is
the same.
