The left hand patterns taught in this book have been divided up into four different groups:

A few years ago I began composing COOL SONGS for my own piano students. It was a way to motivate or inspire them to keep playing the piano through original compositions I composed specifically for them. Learn more about my COOL SONGS at this link on my website: www.musicmotiv...

The Octave Spread: Jerald, I wish from the day I started piano I would have started playing with an octave between my left and right hand. I know that the mechanics of songs often force this, but if I had started there I believe I would have learned faster, and improvisation would have seemed far more natural earlier. One brain, two halves, two hands, and one great instructor. Thanks Jerald. Peace! Dale
A good topic for future videos would those right embelishments !
Book for right hand embellishments please
My wish is to learn the that more
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything. Thanks again! - Jerald
@jerald, I have a few of your books including this one, but I am still quite confused where I could get more insight on how you expand these and start to improvise or arrange as you call it. I never really know "how" to change the rhythm of the melody to match the pattern, or vise versa, alternatively, I never really know what kind or type of scale to use in different scenarios. Thanks for your help and great video :)
Marcel Robichaud, Thanks for your comment. I have actually created a course that I am launching next week (June 22nd, 2020), and that course is going to have me going through each of my books from my Essential Piano Exercises course - a step by step approach where I teach every scale, chord, mode, left hand patterns, right hand patterns, licks, grooves, rhythms, etc., and will teach how to learn the music theory, improvise, arrange, and even compose music. New videos will be added to the course every Monday and Friday until January 1st, 2021 (after that new videos will be added as part of a monthly subscription). I am creating videos for my book Essential Piano Exercises starting this month and will then add videos for my book 100 Left Hand Patterns Every Piano Player Should Know followed by several others coming up later this summer, fall, and next spring. You can learn more at www.essentialpianoexercises.com/ - In this course I will be primarily focusing on music theory, improvisation, and composition. The site explains more about it. I hope that helps out a little. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks - Jerald
@@JeraldSimon Thanks I'll have a look, sounds really interesting.
Suddenly sent to right hand ???
I returned the book, useless 👎👎👎
Sorry to hear that. We have sold tens of thousands of these books all over the world and use this book with my 27 other books in my Essential Piano Exercises Course. We currently have members from almost 30 countries around the world. I’m sorry if the book was not a good fit for you. I have hundreds of other video tutorials on my UA-cam channel. I hope you continue playing and learning the piano. I’d love to have you listen to some of my music on all streaming platforms. I have 13 albums and several EPs in various genres and styles. I wish you the best on your musical journey. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks - Jerald
Absolutely love your lessons. I didn’t know any music theory at all but can play by ear. With your lessons, I’m getting somewhere.
That is wonderful! Keep up the great work. Let me know if you need help with anything. Thanks - Jerald
Would love to get this book! Where could I get it? Thanks 😊
Thank you! You can buy any of my books on my website at this link: www.musicmotivation.com/shop or on Amazon. Thanks - Jerald
Amazing!! Thank you!
You are welcome! Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything. Thanks - Jerald
You know I love it! Brooke too!
Thank you, Shelly! You are so kind. I am so impressed by everything you are doing. What a great example you are and you are helping so many people. Keep up the great work! You are an inspiration (and so is your daughter!).
Was able to hear this perfectly! Ty, terry
1. Great! Now I can't listen to a song without looking for one of the 100 left hand patterns (LOL) Thanks, Jerald!
2. As a 65 year-old legally blind man, I can read music, or I can play the music, but until now I couldn't read music and play music at the same time. By learning each pattern for the left hand I no longer have to read the left hand notes. By playing the melody with my pinky I can learn and memorize most complete melodies in just a few minutes. By adding the chord to the right hand pinky suddenly I've got it going on. This is an awesome way to learn to play songs by ear.
3. I've always loved good intros and good endings. Now those intros and endings that seemed so scary even weeks ago, are fun to learn, and not so scary any more. The best part is that I can now improvise my own intros and endings, and its a lot of fun.
4. One last point, with learning these different patterns I can play across any genre, blues, rock, jazz, new age all come beating at my door. I'm65, legally blind, and I sitlll look under the bed and in the closet before I go to sleep at night, but now the monsters have been vaporized, and the piano man waits...for me. Thanks Jerald. Peace! Dale
Please don't confuse people with "numbers" 😱😱😱

What's first, second third inversion
First, Second, and Third inversion refers to chords that have been inverted. If you have a four note chord like a C6 chord (i.e. C E G A), then you will have four positions - Root Position, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd inversions. The C6 chord in root position is C E G A where C is on the bottom. The C6 chord in first inversion is E G A C where C is on the top. The C6 chord in second inversion is G A C E. The C6 chord in third inversion is A C E G. Sorry if it was confusing.
