5 Rock & Pop Piano Melodies to Train Both Hands
Train both hands with an iconic rock rhythm pattern in the left hand and 5 catchy pop melodies in the right — a complete piano independence workout. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music sets up a chord progression with open-voiced chords, then teaches a driving rock pattern in the left hand using both power-chord and spread-voicing arpeggios. On top of that steady left hand you'll learn 5 catchy pop melodies (the last inspired by 'Drive' by Incubus) — playing them against the rock groove is what builds genuine hand independence. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:32 Introduction 01:51 Chord Progression 03:08 Chords on Left Hand 03:46 Power Chord Arpeggio 05:47 Spread Voicing Arpeggio 08:07 Left Hand Pattern with Spread Voicing 11:03 Left Hand Pattern with Power Chord 12:00 Introducing Melody to Right Hand 14:42 MELODY 1 17:52 MELODY 2 21:05 MELODY 3 25:30 MELODY 4 29:05 MELODY 5 (Drive by Incubus) 32:45 RECAP 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🤘 All our Rock Piano Tutorials ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9oY8ZYrY4rrexdZ-dYwpqq 🤚 Hand Independence ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🎸 Guitar-esque Rock Patterns ➡️ https://youtu.be/_QoOmo1QBoc ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #RockPiano #PopPiano #HandIndependence
