Holy Cow! This is the lesson I've been searching for. If we're extending the pinky for the single bass notes, it makes perfect sense to keep it out of the upper chords. This keeps the left hand stretched out, ready for economy of motion. This also applies to many Chopin Waltzes. Amazing Video!!
Nice and practical movement of fingers. My fingers are short and I am nearing 70’s, and I still have time to practice the 3 or 4-2-1 exercise. True enough, I played the wrong technique of using my fifth finger( a strong finger for me). My thumb has no problem, it’s always in place( too short to put it off the white key. Ha ha ha ) how ever, my elbows, I played it wide enough to enjoy freedom of body movement. But yes, I will take all your tips in mind. Thanks, this will help me a lot. By the way I am Asian, and anatomically, all is short he he he.
Cool, but if I apply this left hand technique on my piano (which is not as bright as yours), with E flat for Tonic, the chords lands half in the bass register. It makes it sound super muddy. So I prefer making bigger jumps, towards the middle C and it sounds just right. Still, I like your tutorials in general. I'm I doing something wrong here? Thanks!

This was very useful. Thank you.
Very helpful video! Thank you
Thanks a lot
What to do if you are already used to play chords with the fifth finger? I think I have to learn Swipesy again...

Starts 2:00.
There's people who are able to play ragtime without looking, I wanna learn that
1 year late, but it just comes with practice. Especially with sightreading it's a necessity for fluent reading.
