Christy .. Thanks for your kind words Christy! :)

You can! Don't give up.

I agree. Bb is not one of the easier keys because the home now for that left pinky is a black note. However I think about the scale as g bloods and the solos get easier.

pretty much the only scale I know lol

Lucky Thugger.. Thanks! Another video coming soon

Bruce Phoenix .. Thanks Bruce!

Haha thanks Emily! 🙂

Thanks Robert!

You paint a beautiful scene. I'm going to open the window and pay some boogie today.

I've been playing the piano for thirty years now, mostly blues, played more gigs than I can count and much as I love it, there is a slight tragedy that once you can play like this, the amount of time and effort it takes to get so conversant with the instrument means that some of the magic you feel when you hear the music is lost, well, it has been for me at least!

@@Pete-tq6in What honesty and humility. I suspect the key element is that playing has been your career. I saw an interview with JD Souther where he was asked what he played when at home with friends. He said he'd be as likely to do that as spin on the top of a fence post. I've been drawing and generating visual ideas for a living my whole life. I'm happy to be retired and not even painting. Now that music is where I'm putting my creative energy, I think it's unlikely I'll live long enough to lose the pleasure. I'm fortunate to have a musicality coach whose goal for me is that I become fluent in thelanguage of music and addicted to how good playing feels. He's 55 and still gets high playing, maybe because most of his income comes from teaching.

That’s great mate! You can’t go wrong with that book by Tim Richards.

Fatou Kourouma .. Hi Fatou, thanks for your comment. I’m glad you’re inspired to learn blues piano. I don’t give online lessons unfortunately but some tips/skills necessary for a beginner would be 1: Hand independence. Always practice the left hand first by itself until it feels natural and comfortable. If the left hand is not solid, further progress will be difficult. Then you can slowly add the right hand parts like simple chords or basic 3 -5 note riffs. Don’t rush it, patience is key. Another key that can help you as it did me is listening to as much blues piano music as possible from a variety of blues pianists. I also recommend searching KZfaq for blues piano instructional videos which can be helpful. A great instructional book you can find online is ‘Improvising Blues Piano’ by Tim Richards. Perfect for beginners, covers a range of styles and explains all aspects of blues piano very well. Even comes with a CD...Finally, practice everyday. Even if it’s just 10 minutes. Consistency is essential in learning any new skill. Best of luck!

Thank you so much for your response! I’ll definitely check out the book you recommended!

Sorry I don’t have lessons available for this type of blues. I do have some basic tutorials for baselines and easy right hand licks on this channel and on my Instagram.

Theophilus Martins..Thanks, some of it came about through improvisation. But the majority of this piece is based around actual songs.

Thanks Cecil but no I don’t offer lessons.
