LESSON SUMMARY
When you imagine the sound of blues piano, your mind likely gravitates toward tasty and soulful riffs played in the mid-to-upper register of the piano. In other words, when you think of blues piano, you think of the right hand! And there’s good reason for that. Bluesy fills, licks and riffs in the right hand constitute an essential stylistic component of the blues that is immediately recognizable. But what about the left hand? Are you able to imagine an authentic blues piano accompaniment just as clearly? For many students, blues piano left-hand technique is more vexing. In today’s Quick Tip, Jonny addresses this common challenge by dissecting how to Play Blues Piano Accompaniment in 3 Steps.

Thank you Jonny . Playing blues piano is a dream that is becoming true for me . Someone could mistake me for somebody who knows what they are doing .

Johnny I started watching your videos few years ago when I knew little to absolute nothing on the piano, you'd be surprised what I can actually play in 2023

Hi I'm following only a while. If you had the time would you recommend a few videos that you were really guided by or others that have components that you feel really helped you? Congratulations on your progress, you must have put in the necessary hours and focused attention, so kudos. Thanks, no bother if you're too busy. Probably playing the piano. 👍

I guess you can't underline your words in these posts. Perhaps I should have known that, but in my previous posting the words "ability to teach" would have followed from "What makes Jonny at least a half-step better than any other piano instruction I've seen throughout the world of the internet is his.." (and again) ability to teach. That is his true gift to us. Thank you again., - and again.

It sounds absolutely great when you play it Jonny. However, i think the most important and difficult task for beginers and intermediate learners to learn for beginers is 'how to coordinate' both hands together. I'm sure, many, including myself would be greatful if you could convey the art of harmonising and coordinating both hands, through whatever exercises which i'm sure you know best. Thank you so much for all your ingenious lessons Jonny.

What makes Jonny at least a half-step better than any other piano instruction I've seen throughout the world of the internet is his . With explanations that all levels will understand, appreciate and advance from. All you have to do is watch and practice. You will be noticed. And may I also say: "Everything he does is in the Key of F'n great !". Thank you.

Jonny this is perfect for my blues improvement…can you do some lessons on slow blues with left hand chords and improv licks etc with the right hand…haven’t seen a lesson that incorporates this style❤🎹

The more I learn about piano the more I learn that less is more. A well placed silence makes everything sound good. That's why I never play any notes.

Hi! Awesome stuff, but I don’t see the link to the Bible of 120 Blues licks mentioned… 🤔

@KC9KEP 2 ай бұрын

One thing I've noticed .. Many of these licks seem to start at a high position on the keyboard and descend as opposed to starting low ascending. Or is it just me? :-)

Hi there Jonny. I am looking for a particular sound from a song and have struggled to find it. Any chance you (or anyone else who might see this) could help me out? The song is called Changes the Universe by Eric Johanson. Thanks.
