The BEST Left Hand Piano Pattern By FAR... (my "Secret Sauce") chords
Start Jamming...
Today [Eb] I'm going to teach you an easy left hand pattern [F] that makes any song sound beautiful,
sensitive, [Gm] and emotional.
This [Bb] pattern got so popular I [Cm] got invited to do a TED talk on it.
Eight simple notes on piano, that's it.
I call it my secret sauce piano [Am] pattern.
[C] Part [Dm] one I'm going to demo [Cm] it to you so you know exactly how it sounds.
In part two I'm [Eb] going to
teach you note by note how to [Bb] play it.
In part three I'll teach you [Bb] the foolproof method to
[Cm] learn this fast and get it on [Bb] autopilot.
This step is [Gm] super important, please don't skip step
Alright let's get started.
[F] Alright so here's what it's going to sound like when it's finished and
trust me it's easier than it looks.
[Gb] Now check this out if you use this pattern with any song
it automatically makes it beautiful.
So I can play Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars with the
[F] pattern or
[Dm]
[Bb]
[Fm]
I can [Dm] even take a hip-hop song like Lollipop by Lil Wayne it still sounds beautiful.
[C]
[F] [G] [C]
[Bb]
[Dm] You could even [Am] take Mary Had A Little Lamb it's still gonna sound good.
[C]
[G] [Em]
[C] [A] [D]
[C] Boom automatically beautiful.
Alright so now I'm going to show you the pattern note by note.
So
if you're excited to learn go ahead and smash that like button I really really do appreciate it.
Alright so you're going to start with your pinky on C and it's going to be eight notes.
It's going
to be C G C G [G] D G [Cm] C G.
That's it you just repeat those eight notes over and over.
So if I play it
a little faster it's going to sound like this and a bit faster it's going to sound like this.
Now once you have that down pat you can actually shift this same [F] pattern to other notes [A] and it
still sounds amazing.
So I can take the same shape and I can lift my hand and I can plop it down
on A and play these same patterns still sounds good.
Or I can shift it [F] to an F still play it again
[C] or any note on the keyboard.
[G]
[A]
So now you just learned [N] a whole bunch of patterns how cool is
that.
Alright so the next part is the important part.
There's a two-step foolproof system to learn
this fast and get it on autopilot.
Please please do not skip this step it's absolutely critical
to learn this the right way.
But first I made a simple cheat sheet with the exact notes for this
pattern as well as the notes for each chord.
There's a few chords out there that you will
have to play some black notes and this cheat sheet will outline that for you.
So to get the
cheat sheet click the link in the upper right or in the description enter your name and email hit
submit and download your [C] cheat sheet here.
[Dm] [G] Alright so there's a two-step system to learn this fast.
Step one is called the added note strategy [C] here's how it works.
First you're going to take just the
first two notes of the pattern so C and G and you're going to practice that eight times so one
two three and do it eight times.
Then you add one note so C G C you practice those three
notes eight times.
Then you add another note so C G C G practice that eight times then C G C G [G] D
practice [N] that eight times and repeat this process until you've got through the entire pattern.
This
strategy will help you learn it one step at a time so you don't get overwhelmed and frustrated.
Alright then step two is a very powerful technique that's going to solidify this in your muscle
memory and by the way if you want even more of these strategies hit that subscribe button hit the
notification bell so you don't miss out on [Gb] any future videos.
Alright so to get this on [C] autopilot
so you can play it without even thinking about it you want to use the four rhythm strategy.
It's
pretty simple all you do is you start off with rhythm number one sounds like this long short long
short and you play the entire pattern four times using this rhythm it's going to sound like this
long short long [G] short long short [C] long short and do that four times after that you take rhythm number
two it's going to be short long short long and play it four times sounds like this short long
short long [G]
short long [Cm] short long.
Once you do that four times you take rhythm number three which is
long short short short and you play it four times sounds like this long short short short [G] long
short [Cm] short short.
Once you play that four times you finally take rhythm number four
which is short short short long and play it four times sounds like this short short short
long short short short long.
Trust me students always tell me once they complete all four
rhythms, it just feels like the pattern is quote in their fingers and they can play it
much faster and on autopilot like this.
