Left Hand Patterns Pdf: Piano Accompaniment Book 300

Pick a simple melody or just play a single note (the 3rd or 7th of the chord) in your right hand. Listen to how the left hand pattern changes the feel of the song.

Every pianist knows the feeling. You have the right chord progression in your right hand (Cmaj7 – Am7 – Dm7 – G7), but your left hand feels stuck. You play a boring root-octave-fifth pattern. Again. It sounds blocky, amateur, and uninspired.

Take Pattern #1. Play it in this chord sequence: C – F – Bb – Eb – Ab – Db – Gb – B – E – A – D – G – C. This trains your hand to move, not just sit in one key.
