Now we add single bass notes with the left hand to make the chords sound fuller. The left hand stays in a C position the whole time. Play the C note with the pinky, F note with the index finger and G note with the thumb of the left hand. We practice in 4/4 time, meaning there are four beats per measure and a quarter note gets one count. The bass note is held for two counts while the right hand plays four quarter notes. Next time , Silent NIght or Stille Nacht.
