    You sound awesome,,,and on top of it...don't make things sound complicated :D :)

    Regards

  • @fanoffarhansayed

    There are thousands of accompaniment patterns. This is just a simple one for beginners.

  • Keep it up John. Is people like you who make this world a better world

  • I have many more piano accompaniment patterns on YouTube.

  • Johnny, this is really helpful, and I'm glad that you're willing to help share the magic of music with others. I've been playing piano for about 11 years but had a very difficult time with rhythm patterns to back myself up. Your technique is great to turn to.

  • I have a collection of around 200 different accompaniment patterns that any beginner can use. What really sounds good is when you apply these simple patterns to extended chords which are used in jazz. One of these days I'll put up some jazz lessons.

  • It looks so easy. It took 20 Minutes for me to figure out what you do with your left hand ;-)

    Thanks for this nice ACMP!

  • I really like this... I like how you explained the chord and fingering.

    Although, I also wish you had explained/ or shown it a lot slower before the actual demonstration. Know what I mean? I knows its simple for you (you're a pro) =) but its a little complicated for us beginners to look at both hands and fully grasp it at "normal" speed. High five though! I will watch the vid over & over & practice until I get it. Thanks!!!!

  • Great basic pattern thanks a lot, really helpful when I'm trying to learn a new song from guitar chords, cheers!

  • What is the name of that folk song? It is very nice. :)

  • what are some more advanced patterns that pros use? I always feel like my patterns sound too basic

  • its c with pinky, g with thumb in left, right hand hits c, e, g, then middle finger hits e on the left then thumb on g and right hits c, e , g again or you could try some inverted c major chords

  • i really like this
