It takes a genius to create a song with just 2 chords


For example


Walk on the wild side - Lou Reed

Just C bass
then F bass
then C bass
etc


Numbered bass code [Bach, Niedt] is
C
F6

ie
C bass and C E G
F bass and F A D

or rearranging
C bass and G C E
F bass and F A D


Hands should move in push pull mode [Bach, Niedt] ie when left hand goes to the right, the right hand goes left. It sounds better. It helps for example choosing whether bass F will be played abive bass C or an octave below etc.
