Play Piano - The C Minor Blues Scale

[badprle]

great channel man

[MrRon58]

@badprle Thanks...

[dreamcastII]

do you change key in this piece, as you play b natural a few times, here?

[MrRon58]

@dreamcastII When I'm playing the B natural, I'm playing a G7 chord!

[TheSwali]

aaaww yeee thats fuunkeeh

[jpstenino]

HE really brings that scale to life. 

[julymaeandaloc]

Hi,

Interesting new piano learning device featured in Gizmag

Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

[MrRon58]

@julymaeandaloc You shouldn't use CRUTCHES!

[MsLove4allmusic]

coolll

[harysman]

great left hand

[MrRon58]

@harysman Thanks...

[lucaandfriends]

This is not the C minor blues scale.. this is C MAJOR!!!

[nsmith10000]

@lucaandfriends

It is the minor blues scale...

[Dav123xyz]

very good

[Greg763]

Awesome !

[JASTproductions]

Is that a yes?

[ExplorerFreak]

I have such trouble with the left hand, I can play the right all day. :(

[Curlyfunksta]

I prefer to say F# instead of Gb

[MrRon58]

@Curlyfunksta I don't care if you call it "E double sharp!" Can you play it with a "soulful feel!?

[Curlyfunksta]

@MrRon58 YES SIR I CAN :P

[MrRon58]

@Curlyfunksta You may, but it's incorrect.  Do you call the E-flat... D#?

[got2bpositive]

It is a c major blues scale

[russhurley]

great thanks - what chords can you play with that? no c major coz no E?

[MrRon58]

@russhurley Dominant 7th chords... the accidental is considered a "blue note,"... the Eb against the E natural! It creates tension...

[JASTproductions]

can I use this music for my intro in my video???

[MrRon58]

No problem... just acknowledge, Ron Worthy, as the creator of the music backdrop!

[LeaveMoesHoes]

how can i play the left hand is there a video on how to play the Left hand ?

[derrickwaynelange]

for the walking bass, when you move up to the 4 chord, F, do you play the notes in the f major scale there? f blues scale? just the F to start, than more c notes? can you play all the major notes plus the flattend 3rd 5th and 7th? Im havin some trouble with the walking bass if you can't tell

[MrRon58]

Hi Derek...

You need to invest in one of my learning resources!

Based on your questions, you need "detailed" guidance.

[MikelReegur]

gosh, i love c minor. it's so funky.

[salvatorinni]

amazing left hand,sound like a bass, sound great!

[MrRon58]

Thanks...

[doc105]

Why Thank you this honestly helped me now my piano teacher will be amazed tommrow :)

[MrRon58]

Great...

[seanieboy2725]

c major blues scale

[MrRon58]

The Blues Scale is derived from a minor mode! You need to study music theory!

[znerenz108]

so every blues scale starts with a minor chord?

just correct me if I'm wrong

[MrRon58]

NO!

You can play a Blues Scale over a Dominant 7th chord!

[znerenz108]

Thx Mr. Ron but I'm just referring to a major and minor chord, because when I play a blues scale start with a Major chord for example A chord it doesn't sound nice and Am chord is more better.

btw what is a dominant 7th chord sorry for being a noob T.T

[skywalker8686]

it sounds great! a very useful lesson... thank u so much!

[BLuEsHayZee]

seem pretty easy until you throw the second hand in haha, but I play guitar so I know my scales on that, I have an ear for them so hopefully I can get a keyboard or a paino lol. Pianos are way too expensive, but they are worth the CLASS. Either way good stuff.

[YuriDerSchwede]

He sounds like Tom Waits..

[Decomposingfrog101]

Thank You

[hardware4200]

Are you using a PC88-MX?  I noticed in your other videos you are using other Young Chan Products.

[MrRon58]

Yes... at the time of the recording!

Ron

[Sarawwhtee]

I love blues, we did it in music class. we all had to improvise a tune using blue notes :]

so much, this sounds really good

[alieco]

^^^ bad memory... Hopefully I'll get it lol. Thanks for showing this though.

[rhafiko]

great, it helps me a lot.

i do really love blues and learn its being easy.

hugs.

[SuperMafioBrother]

I suppose I have to know the keys on the keyboard to learn how to play.

Off to Google!

Thanks for posting MrRon58!

[TrueYears]

man I love the power of memorization

[callfloortech]

I can do one or the other but not usually both at the same time. Usually i follow with my left hand whatever im doing with my right in a more simple way, one note or two.

[callfloortech]

Please tell me what excercises i can do to help me keep the rythym in my left hand while playing the melody (something completly different) with my right hand. I am really having trouble with this.

[lyconthrop]

wow i love your video dont stop making them haha thanks alot really helped me pratice alone

[Soapface]

Thanks for alot for the video! so if i play a 3rd in a chord of a scale (like this scale for example) it will fit even though its out of the scale?

[MrRon58]

That's right! Sometimes they are called "blue notes!"

MrRonsMusic

[MrRon58]

That's right!

[fitzyuc]

Hey MrRon,

I was just wonderin if you oculd show us how to do a good blues bass line like the one that you did in the video. It's really cool and I'd love to learn to play it.

Thanks, fitzyuc

[freakperzon]

agreed! xD

[jizzleman985]

Why do you show us these keys and then go play A an B too? Its great, I just wish everything you do is shown.

[MrRon58]

The A is the third of the F7 chord... and the Bb is the 7th of the C7 chord!

[vman1949]

What did you say the name of this song is?

[MrRon58]

It's just a Blues in C!

[fitzyuc]

the bass line is so mad.

[kabayo50]

teach me how you do the left hand slowly please

[MrRon58]

That's a "feel" that outlines the harmony of the C7, F7 an G7 chords!

MrRonsMusic

[rawlph2]

thanks for posting this vid =) really helped me out on what finger to use for which key, since this wasnt explained in my book!

[MrRon58]

Great...

Ron

[mjv50]

sweet, i'm a beginner. can't wait to try this!

[llover21]

It's called an accidental, where you play a note not in the key signature, and only play it for the bar thats marked. AND FINALLY, A PIANO VIDEO THAT DOESN'T HAVE 10 MISTAKES IN IT!!!

[dopemcee]

im always confused.. so you jst said the notes in a c minor blues scale is c, e flat , f, f sharp, g and b flat..

so why is your left hand playing A , E etc as accompaniment? i thought you're only supposed to use the notes in the scale if you're playing a song in that scale..?

[RL82]

An easy explanation is "E" and "A" are chord tones for a C6 chord, which is an acceptable chord to play behind a C-based blues scale. The more you advance and move deeper into the blues and jazz, you'll start seeing and understanding why and how you can introduce non-chord tones and non-scale tones.

[1krienke]

I'm just a Beginner, I have a stand up piano

THIS VIDEO IS PURE GOLD

[MrRon58]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ron

[Icelinenl]

I'm a total beginner but what voices did you set the left and right side to?

[MrRon58]

It's a very basic I-IV-V Chord Progression in C.

C7 - F7 - G7

[Icelinenl]

thank you but I meant what instrument (it's called 'voice' on my keyboard), like grandpiano, jazzguitar etc) seeing the tones sound very different from my keys. (Sorry, I've had no lessons what so ever and just started playing)

[MrRon58]

It's an electronic keyboard sound! I was using one of Kurzweil's PC 88 keyboard voices!

Just use your ear's and find a sound that you like on your keyboard!

Ron

[Icelinenl]

ok, thanks a lot, I will :)

[herbertsaidherbert]

I'm a guitar player. Mostly rock and metal. The pentatonic scale and blues scale are one not apart. The cross-over is inevitable. Yada yada. Been wanting to learn blues on piano forever. Too lazy to study it. You just made it happen in less than 2 minutes. I already wrote a blues riff off of this. Thanks a million.

[MrRon58]

Thanks Herbert... I'm glad I could help!

Ron

[mackles]

WONDERFUL! i'm glad to see this up, i love this riff

[MrRon58]

Thanks... I'm glad you enjoyed it!

MrRonsMusic

[ebufford]

Mr Ron what type of tripod are u using? I would love to have my cam over my head like u do so the people can see what I'm playing better. thax

[MrRon58]

It's just a regular tripod... I believe when I recorded this footage, I was using a "fish eye" wide angle camera lens!

[PianoSongBird]

Mr Ron:

Thanks again for your great video's!

Getting it little by little. :0)

Anna

[dionsansoucie]

very cool!!!!
