- You start with the single root note of the chord and then play a 5th above it. So if it’s a C chord, you’ll play C and G in the left hand. If it’s an F chord, you’ll play F and C. The great thing about this is that it doesn’t matter if the chords are major or minor because the root and 5th are the same for both.

Oct 20, 2014 · The first left hand chord, left hand arranging style I’d like to take up is chord strumming – how to strum a chord on the piano. Chord strumming means that; it’s just like you’re strumming a guitar, except on a piano you probably hit the notes all at once.

- Start simple and get more complicated. This applies to the piece itself but also to the process of learning how to arrange or improvise a left hand. Sometimes you can just start with the melody.
- If the right hand is fast and complicated, simplify the left hand. When your right hand is doing a lot, it doesn’t need a lot of support from left hand, maybe just an occasional chord.
- Use left hand to fill in any empty gaps on Beats 1 and 3. Beat 1 is always the most important beat in every measure so it’s good to have something there; it’s comforting for somebody listening to be able to tell where the pulse of the piece is.
- A faster harmonic rhythm requires an easier or shorter left hand pattern. Harmonic rhythm is the speed at which you are changing chords. If you look at a hymnal, you’ll see that there is often a different chord on every single beat of the measure.

First and foremost, most of your jazz playing will consist of chords played in your left hand - while your right hand plays the melody or solos above. It’s common to play ‘closed position’ chord voicings (1 3 5 7 or 5 7 1 3) - like this: IMAGE: 2-5-1 played with closed voicings. G7 inversion. You can also play ‘shell voicings’ which look like this ...
In your bass line, it’s normal to hold down the chord’s root for the duration of the chord. However, at times this can sound slow paced and you might want to add some energy. A simple trick is to play the root of the chord for two beats, and then the 5thof the chord for two beats (that is if the chord is held for four beats) - like this: IMAGE: 2-5...
Instead of playing every chord in ‘unison’ (all notes played at once), vary your texture by playing some chords as an arpeggio (one note at a time played in an ascending sequence). Here’s how I could arpeggiate the following chords: IMAGE: arpeggiation - C maj 7 - D min 7 - E min 7 - D min 7 When using arpeggiation, I recommend sticking to 3-note c...
Traditionally, playing in a ‘stride’ piano style requires the pianist to jump back and forth between the chord’s root, and the chord, in quick succession. To play in this style takes some skill and practice. However, you can play a more relaxed variation on stride with minimal practice. Play the chord’s root in your left hand on beat one (e.g. for ...
Playing a walking bass line in your left hand is a great technique to add energy and variety to your arrangements. A walking bass line plays quarter notes (beats 1, 2, 3, 4), and the goal is to get to the next chord’s root note as the chord is played. So for a ii-V-I in C major, your bass notes will be D, G and C- and each root note is played on th...
The key is to sounding great is to VARY your left hand’s texture throughout the song: Switch back and forth between all of the techniques we’ve looked at - chords, arpeggiation, the root + 5th bass line, stride piano texture, and walking bass line.
Choose 3 songs from your repertoire, then apply one left hand technique at a time: 1. Left hand chords texture (simple) 2. Root + 5th bass lines (adds subtle energy) 3. Arpeggiation (3 note chord voicings) 4. Stride textures (root - chord - chord, root - chord - chord) 5. Walking bass line (‘walk’ to the next chord’s root in quarter notes) Recommen...
The left hand is a great place to add in some rhythm when playing piano chords. It doesn't have to be complicated though. It can be a simple rhythm and evolve as your playing evolves and you get more experience. To begin with, just play the chord in your right hand and root note in your left hand.
In this lesson, we’ll be focusing on the role of the left hand in piano playing. Most beginners focus their attention on the right hand; learning scales, intervals, chords, progressions, and how to play songs, giving little or no attention to the left hand.
What kind of advanced techniques will carry you beyond the boring left hand accompaniment below the plain melody? To answer that question, I’ve decided to take you through an arrangement, from finding your own chords to creating patterns that emphasize the drama of the melody and lyrics. I’ve chosen a favorite tune, Shule Aroon.
