Mr . Corey I searched for hand independence exercises to start play songs with chords. You are just an amazing music teacher and skilled musician . - Student from INDIA
I'm in my second week learning through internet. I am able to memorize let it be song but i can't do in the right rhythm because i take too long to pick the right key.
I definitely understand. Two tips: 1) Slow down your playing even more until you can play the song with a steady rhythm. 2) A few times, just focus on playing the right rhythm, no matter if you play the right notes. This will get your hands used to the movement needed. Be Blessed and Happy Practicing!
All this exercises in which both hands play patterns are not really challenging independence because you can always figure out some fixed relation between hands and then you got them tied toghether. For me, hand independence gets hard in a very simple situation: left hand plays a pattern and right hand improvises freely. Then it's soooo hard to keep the left steady in time and I don't seem to get better at that...
I hear you. The key is to break it down into smaller rhythms. When your right hand is improvising freely, it is not playing unknown rhythms. It is playing quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, triplets, etc… So you want to make sure you can play those smaller concepts, then try combining two of them, then there, etc…. You have to be extremely confident in the small before being confident in the large.

Adjust your fingering to the key you are in.
