Hey guys, so this is my go-to left hand pattern for piano. I use it ALL the time if you watch any of my piano covers.

It's basically an arpeggiated 9th chord if you know your theory. The notes are scale degree:

1 3 5 8 9 5 8 5
(With "8" being the root up and octave and "9" being scale degree 2 up an octave)

In other words, if we're in C Major, the notes are:
C E G C D G C G

So in the video, I'm going to first demonstrate it, then show you exactly what notes to play, then show you how to learn it fast! Watch the third part! Seriously, you could learn this thing in a week with 5 minutes a day of practice and have it the rest of your life! Once you lean one or two songs with it, you can literally just plug it into any song and know it's going to sound good.

Another thing, once you learn it, it's tempting to never try anything else. Don't do this either, keep improving yourself and learning different left-hand patterns. You can always have this one to fall back on when you ask yourself "What to play with my left hand" when covering a song on piano, but try other styles out too, or try making one up yourself!
