These 3 Piano Lessons Will Blow Your Mind!

in music •  8 years ago  (edited)

Okay, so they won't blow your mind, but they WILL teach you how to play the 12 Bar Blues. This is the first stage, so would be aimed at more of a beginner pianist. Using these 3 tutorials, by the end of them you'll be able to play a simple 12 Bar Blues pattern in the key of G with both hands.

The first lesson focuses on learning the the different chord patterns, correct fingering and structure in the right hand.

Here is the correct structure and counting patterns to help you.

In this lesson I'll teach you the left hand part.

And finally in this tutorial I'll show you how to put both hands together.

I hope you've learnt from my lessons, and can now riff along the 12 Bar Blues. Stay tuned for the next stage where I take things to the next level.

lessons on steemit :) how about that

Absolutely. Steemit's the future of everything :D

Hey Bluesman! Good going. Some serious work you put into the prod. Love your vids!

The only thing I would add to the start of each vid is the complete piece perfectly played with inflections and variations (advanced) so the student is motivated to work toward it. :)

That is a very good call my friend. I'll get to work on it now!

I've put a clip of some playing at the start of the first video, but will record some more advanced stuff asap and get it on there. Thanks for the suggestion, hope you're well

Yeah - all good. Thanks! Started a fast - and - writing about it. But will publish after finishing... :D I know you love food - so do I, so we'll see how the detox works.... 🍝

A fast as in no food at all or just cutting certain foods out?

Stone cold - just water and Earl Grey tea w/o sugar, milk. :)
Eating little makes it harder, actually. After 2-3 days, the hunger should be gone.
On day 2. 🍝

Sounds pretty brutal. What's your first meal going to be after the fast? Bet it will taste amazing

LOL - I dare not think about it... Depends on how long I am going.
If longer than 5 days, probably a soup.

Sounds brutal mate

The link to the PDF is missing.

I ended up pasting the image from the PDF into the post, its the structure of the 12 Bar Blues under first video. Would you prefer a PDF?

Aaaaaah! I was expecting sheet music ;-)

Not for these lessons, but I did a lesson on how to read sheet music a couple of days ago if you want to check it out.

I've just checked your page and seen that you play stuff like Chopin, the lesson I just put a link to was is for beginners so way to basic for you. Thanks for checking out my page anyway

Well yeah, but basic lessons + improvisation = still fun :-)
