Re: Question about chord progressions...

I'll take a shot...

Depends what the style is.  Jazz vs. classical vs. something else.

The easy answer -- Root of those chords.  C, F, G in the left hand.  Alone, in 8ves, with a 5th.  R, 3rd, 5th arpeggios.  Whatever sounds good.


If it's jazz....  I saw CMaj and thought seventh chord.

... Yep.  I guess it would have to have the 7 after it.  So you just mean triad.  I thought I saw.... Must not.  I saw a list of all the ways seventh chords could be written out once. I must be thinking CMaj7.  If it was in jazz, if you're solo, you need to get the bass note in most of the time.  If it's in a group, you probably would have the third of seventh as the lowest notes in the left hand.

You could play something different in the left hand, not use the root of the chord as the bass note, but it weakens it a little.  If it sounds good though, it sounds good.
Favorite new teacher quote -- "You found the only possible wrong answer."
