Helpful Left Hand Chord Patterns Out Of “Broken” Chords

Left hand chord patterns from arpeggios can function as the harmonic background of a song – the environment that the melody, or tune, lives in. There are various types of chord patterns, but in this video I demonstrate how to take a chord in the left hand and stretch it out and make a pleasant chord pattern out of it.
