I get asked this all the time:

"I can play chords, but I don't know how what to do with my left hand to make it sound beautiful. What can I do?"

I've thought about this for a while before filming this lesson. And the biggest piece of advice I have is that the left-hand does NOT need to be complicated or complex to sound fancy or beautiful.

I find it helps to think about it like this: Your left hand is like the bass player and the rhythm section of the band. Your right hand is like the singer and the guitars.

They both have their role to play, and if everyone is busy all the time, it just sounds messy and bad!

So I have 3 things you can do with your left hand that will make your playing sound awesome, without making it too complicated.

Here are the timecodes:

- Single notes - 0:53
- Fifths - solid and broken - 1:23
- Octaves - with 5ths - 2:36

Which one is your favorite? Or are there other patterns you prefer? Comment to let me know!
