8.2Bass + chord
Now separate the hands.
Left hand:
root
Right hand:
chord
Example:
LH: C RH: E-G-C
then:
LH: A RH: E-A-C
then:
LH: F RH: F-A-C
then:
LH: G RH: F-G-B-D or B-D-F
This already sounds more like accompaniment.
A very common rhythmic pattern is:
beat 1 = bass
beats 2, 3, 4 = chord
For example:
C — chord — chord — chord
This works for simple ballads.
