LESSON SUMMARY
Do you want to learn how to play smooth blues piano licks? Many blues players learn a few blues piano licks. However, they don’t understand how to connect these licks into longer phrases called blues lines. In today’s piano lesson, I’m going to teach you how to connect blues piano licks and riffs into longer musical phrases so that your blues improvisation sounds more interesting. Specifically, you will learn:
- The Blues Scale
- 3 Essential Blues Piano Grips
- How to Use Each Grip with 8th Notes, Triplets, Turns, and Harmonies
- 3 Examples of How to Connect Licks Into Smooth Lines

Jonny, Jonny, Jonny...this is one of your BEST videos!!! Thank you. At first, I was totally confused with the "Grips" idea. After patiently working thru your video a few times, I grasped the value of the grips concept. Breaks things down into manageable pieces. Kudos on how you play Line #2 SLOWLY at 12:10. Fantastic. Please include this type of slow demo in all your videos. So unbelievably helpful. I bought your course last year and was overwhelmed. I slogged thru it as best I could. After cooling it for the Covid year, I am coming back to your teaching and it is much easier this time around. I'll be diving back into your course soon!!

Total begginer. Got my piano 3 days ago, my fingers are disobedient trying to play more notes than i tell them to, but i can see small progress everytime i practice. I can play the blues scale note by note and sounds nice. Keeps me going. If i can learn to improv,i will be motivated to learn reading music. Thank you for your videos they are extremly helpful

Some very useful tips for my stage of learning. I love your approach. Question - did I miss the summer special rates that were mentioned early in the video? I'm from Canada (therefore we pay about a 30% premium due to differences in our currency) and the sale would tip the balance into subscribing for your courses!

Master Jonny, once again, a very good and useful lesson. Could you show us how to use these licks and harmonizations improvising on a fast 12-bar blues tune like Johnny Be Good, for example ? Thanks in advance.

Great lesson! Very nice blues riffs. I was wondering if you would consider doing a lesson like this in the key of E or A. These are very popular keys if you play with a guitar player and the riffs and fingerings may be different from the key of C. For example, in the key of E and A you can’t slide from the minor third into the major third.

We start in C because it is easier for beginner pianists but we have the possibility to change keys with the sheet music in the membership. I’m trying to get all the concepts down in C first and then I’ll learn the other keys. It’s a journey of a lifetime though! 🤣🎹

Cool smooth lines! And thank you for such a detailed explanation! I'm curious to know - how you find which note sequences (right-hand) sound "bluesy" and which not? Can you share any rules or patterns or any reference to read about?

@tswhite7929 2 жыл бұрын

Look for the "circle of fifths" learn that. It will be a master's in music theory. Apply to the piano and practice when learning.

I do believe in LIne 2 you hit that Bb once, before using it again to make the turn; in both octaves. That initial Bb is not in the transcription.

Why does grip 3 contain A if Cblues scale doesn't have it?

@michaelkeymont501 4 жыл бұрын

Василий Дорожкин the “natural 6th” is one of the sweetest notes that gets added to a blues scale. The classic shuffle rhythm in blues is root+5th, root+6th, back and forth. In the key of C, ‘A’ is also the 3rd of the IV chord, so it’s an important tone. I hope that helps...

@user-je8dg4ev5k 4 жыл бұрын

@@michaelkeymont501 Yes, it does, thank you! Just was a bit confused by `let's use C blues scale` and then `let's use a note out of Cblues scale`

@jhn1987 4 жыл бұрын

Perhaps the better way to think about it is in terms of the minor and major blues scales. The blues scale that Jonny showed is the C minor blues scale. The C major blues scale is C,D,Eflat, E,G,A. Another way to think about it is the minor blues scale of the relative minor. In the key of C, the relative minor is A. So playing an A minor blues scale is the same as playing a C major blues scale. When you combine the major and minor blues scales, your riffs and improv start to sound more professional.

@rogerioesposito2170 4 жыл бұрын

That is a very good question. Maybe, in the 12-bar blues, one should use the grip containg the 6th (in this case, A) preferably when the harmony basis goes to F7.

@PianoWithJonny 4 жыл бұрын

jhn1987 nailed it on the head. The A comes from the Major Blues scale. I talked about both of these scales in a recent Quick Tip: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtmEZdF2x8DPp6c.html
