I’ll be showing you 39 left hand ideas that will strengthen <\/em>your left hand like never before.<\/p>\n

As an intermediate player, one of the things that should not be missing in your playing is fullness <\/em>and one thing you can never joke with if you want to play full-sounding chords is the left hand.<\/p>\n

Attention:<\/strong> This lesson is written with intermediate players in mind and it’s also important to note that some of the left hand ideas may require a little stretch to reach.<\/p>\n

The left hand ideas we’ll be covering in this lesson will be based in the key of C major:
\n
\n…and it is recommended that once mastered, you can go ahead and transpose them to other keys.<\/p>\n

Left Hand Ideas For Scale Tone Chords<\/h2>\n

Although there are seven unique scale tones in the major (and minor) key, we’ll be focusing on the left hand ideas of the first six tones of the major scale.<\/p>\n

Attention:<\/strong> The seventh degree of the scale is usually omitted in rare situations like this and I’ll tell you why this is so in a subsequent lesson.<\/p>\n

Let’s go ahead and explore these left hand ideas.<\/p>\n

“For The 1-chord”<\/em><\/h3>\n

The 1-chord is major <\/em>in quality. Consequently, the C major triad, C major seventh, and C major ninth are some of the common options for the 1-chord in the key of C major.<\/p>\n

Idea #34:
\n
\nIdea #35:
\n
\nIdea #36:
\n<\/p>\n

“For The #5-chord”<\/em><\/h3>\n

Idea #37:
\n<\/p>\n

Idea #38:
\n
\nIdea #39:
\n<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

You probably may be wondering why there are 39 left hand ideas instead of 40 left hand ideas.<\/p>\n

Well, I’ll give you the mental task of coming up with the 40th left hand idea. But just in case you’re unable to come up with one, here’s a left hand idea you can add to the list of left hand ideas for the 5-chord:<\/p>\n
