acan i ask a question. i just picked up piano. i know a few chords and i can jam on the c blues scale to backig tracks. ive been playin for 3 days. my issue is i cannot play the 12 bar bass with my left hand and do little soloing with my right at the same time. my left hand wants to keep same beats as my right. is this normal for a beginner? thanks for your response
@TheZimmy84 well the way I learned the blues...is a steady left hand..because the left hand is the engine of the song. Then I learned to improvise with the right hand but I reached that by listening to a lot of LP's / cd's to achive what I can do now..and pianolessons ofcourse..but it takes time yes..
Its Very Very hard make this riffs...:( Much much time of pratice..... more this is beautiful...I'm trying.... hey freak how much time do you play piano ?
have contact with your audience..smile alot ..get interactive with the crowed..sometimes you can say: is everybody having a good time or just say ..come on clap your hands..there are so many things to say..good luck !! :)
hmm that's hard to give advise to play blues in a sentence..with blues dont raise the tempo..have a steady left hand and keep it smooth and later you can build up the song and go nuts :) no..I just want to say..keep it steady and add your own things that you think its right..you can get better if you practise a lot and listen to a lot of blues songs that helped me too..good luck!
hey can you give me some info on these scales your using.. i know c blues pretty good and thats all.. I love this style.. any help would be awesome! thanks!
yeah i can stretch that almost but I need to put my hands off the keys to do it. The easiest 10th is Bb-Db'. In the intro you do B-d, Bb-Db, A-C no problem at all.
The first and last of those 3 would be just out of reach for me, sometimes I would catch the note next to it sometimes I'd play it you see?
I'm biased...Eeco not only has more talent than any one person should have, he HONORS the MASTERS of the genre. I only "know" him from "here" But I know Albert and Pete from treasured recordings. Their legacy is in GOOD hands!
That is one great and beautiful blues; simple left hand and melodic right, especially the way you handle the sixths. Any chance of doing one of your lesson "slo-mo" videos on the right hand of "Blue in G?" /Roy
Brilliant as always! Re 'Junkers Blues' - the number is usually credited to Champion Jack Dupree. Fats Domino did a version of it with different lyrics called 'The Fat Man' which was his first hit round 1949
the chords would be helpful, I can tell what the chord is but the notes fly by and so I have a hard time picking up the riffs. If I am correct, you play g in the right hand with a G and C base.
Saying what is going on would help us slow learners.
YEAH :D, Swing it Eeco, that's the sound that get's me jumpin :)
I've also noticed, that you're playing in the same key, as I would play that base pattern, I don't know why, but it always feels better, playing that double 1 - 2 base line in G :)
Another awesome video and yet another awesome rating :), keep it swinging buddy, you got this house rockin' :) Willie
I know what you mean, even when playing guitar, C F & G are my favourite keys to play in, especially but also, they're the 3 most used keys in the Blues scale :)
I have 2 harmonicas, that I'll play to jam to your videos as well, especially when you're playing in C :)
I was wondering if you have tried playing a tune by "Tuts Washington, called "Junker Blues" aka Tipitina? :)
Anytime buddy :), if you search here on yt, search for "Tipitina" and you should find a video titled "Tuts Tipitina", with some great footage of him performing the original version of the song, that he composed :)
I'm still waiting on the Tuts Washington album I ordered, but the store hasn't called, and it's been 2 months now, but I'll see if I can get a copy and I'll e-mail the song to you or terry :) Willie

yeah i can stretch that almost but I need to put my hands off the keys to do it. The easiest 10th is Bb-Db'. In the intro you do B-d, Bb-Db, A-C no problem at all.
