Lesson transcript:
Broken Chords
These are very similar to arpeggios, and what we're doing is playing the 1, 3, and 5 of the chord in a broken format.
Fingering Guidelines
- The fingering here is less important to be as precise as the scales.
- However, a good rule of thumb is:
- Left Hand: Use the fifth, third, and first fingers.
- Right Hand: Use the first, third, and fifth fingers.
This way, you'll develop good practice when you're moving on to more difficult keys that involve lots of sharps and flats.
