click hereCOURSE GOALSThe idea is that these should be seen as samples to whet your appetite to ask for more material. I know any beginner can develop rather quickly into a reasonable left hand chord pattern player. However material to learn the skills like this is scarce so Im sure youll find it helpful.
The goal is that youll be able to create your own left hand chord patterns to most songs that come with chord symbols and no left hand instead of only relying on auto accompaniment - ie in proper piano style.
In addition sometimes left hand written parts are very complicated and they can be replaced by Chord Patterns - of which here are some basic introductory ones
