LEFT HAND CHORD

A Left Hand Chord is not really a separate kind of a chord, but merely one that for keyboard instruments is played with the left hand, or for stringed instruments is fingered with the right hand and strummed or picked with the left hand.

For keyboard instruments, chords or a series of notes based on chords are sometimes played with the left hand while the right hand plays the melody of the song in higher pitched notes that tend to stand out a little bit more.

For stringed instruments, yes, left handed guitars and left handed bases and other stringed instruments do exist.  One very famous left handed base player was Paul McCartney from the Beatles.  It is sometimes hard to find chord information that deals with left handed stringed instruments directly.  However, the musicord software for windows that is show below, does it simply as an option.

If you have some instrument skills, particularly with a keyboard instrument such as piano, organ, accordion, or keyboard itself or similar, you can do multiple track recording and create you own band recording of perhaps 4 or 8 or 16 or more pieces. This book focuses on music theory on help for determining what some of those other band parts might play, such as strings, bass or other instruments.
