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!
Anyways, if you liked this video, feel free to connect with me if you want to ask me any piano questions you have or just want to say hi

Research in environmental psychology has demonstrated that rain sounds belong to a category called 'pink noise' - sounds that have equal energy per octave. Unlike white noise, pink noise more closely mimics natural sound patterns, which the human brain finds inherently calming. Studies published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology found that pink noise can enhance deep sleep by synchronizing brain waves with the sound patterns. The rhythmic, predictable nature of rainfall activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering a relaxation response that reduces heart rate and blood pressure.
