Just found you Nate! I have been playing for IDK, a long time! Put sheet music in front of me and come hell or high water, I can (ultimately) play it. It is Improvisation that has been something that has been a challenge and something I really want to get better at. I have learned the Blues scale, but have had issues figuring out the chords for the left hand/bass. This was so very helpful - thank you!!! I hope this takes me to the next level!

Hey nate new subscriber here awesome stuff! Im a theory guy hope you can help me..any reason why those chord progressions work well with the blues scale? Why wont other progressions work?

@PianowithNate 5 ай бұрын

Hi! Any chord progression using chords from the key of Cm (Cm, D°, Eb, Fm, Gm, Ab, Bb) will work, as the Cm blues scale is based off of that key. Blues is unique in that you can mix and match major and minor keys for that bluesy tension, so some chords from the key of C MAJOR also work, (C, F, G). The main chord progression I do here is mostly in the key of C minor, but borrowing the F chord from the key of C major and I think it sounds cool. But if you were to deviate to a chords from another key entirely (i.e. C#) it would sound bad unless you were using the C# blues scale. Cheers!

Go verrrrrry slow at first! Also, key is...if you cant do each hand separately with total ease, putting them together will only lead to frustration. Just be patient with yourself, everyone struggles with this at first!
