Blues Piano Licks : Blues Piano Advanced Lick Ten

[StraighAndProud]

WHAT!!??!? THAT IS EASY! All i ever play is chords with an octave pinky to close it! in my right and left is a follow up to finish the arpegio! All this is, is an arpegio! I thought after 30licks there would be somthing cool! :(

[nycolombiano611]

press 0:15 again and again and lmyo :DDD

[UKpiano]

ever thought about using both hands to do the lick ;)

[SnowTheDarkSidee]

1:14 to skip speaking

[aluga1234]

[jambangmedia]

sempoi gile bro, sori le, aku org kampung tapi tak pandai cakap omputih, apepun terima kasih le...

[phionahchin2000]

Nice! BTW – you can learn to play this song in half the time with new gadget that reads MIDI files.

Google “Gizmag and PianoMaestro”

The most difficult lick from the series even for me(I can reach from C to G,more than one and a half octave...)....But I finally did it....It took me around 3 hours to finish playing all the licks,another 5-6 hours to play them up to speed and three whole MONTHS to combine them in the most sufficient way(for me at least....).....Thank you for helping me to take my first step in this amazing music world called blues.......Really man,even your blah-blah is sometimes usefull.....many thanks!!!!!

Probably stating the really obvious here (sorry if you think I am), but if, like me, you really do have small hands and/or short fingers, you could knock off the bottom note of each chord and add it in an octave higher so the chords become:

C-E-Bb-C (C7) and Eb-f-A-C(F7)

You're still getting the Blues/7th sound - just a different inversion of it that's all. It will not sound exactly the same as above but will come close if you're struggling :-)

Thank you John. Classically trained 20 years ago, without keys in my home for 20 years... I'm throwing myself a new learning curve here! I appreciate this!

[nezkeys79]

licks 1-29 of the advanced section are easy for an advanced player but this "lick" is insanely difficult especially if you can reach a tength (which I can't) because then you have to have the wrist/finger stamina. Add to that you will probably be playing a left hand line which is equally as draining

'Hope we enjoyed them?' WE LOVE THEM. THIS SERIES IS THE BEST I'VE SEEN ON YOUTUBE TO DATE! NO KIDDIN.

BIG BIG THANK YOU!

[cheezeandquackers]

Thanks heaps, your series was really useful for my composition for school - especially the notation :)

[mlavik1]

Yes nice chords, butlet's not use the word "advanced" for this! xP

[nezkeys79]

@mlavik1

It is advanced mlavik for the exact reasons he stated at the start of the video

[NasaXnieru]

Thanks for the video series, after I get these down I'll finally be able to get some soul flowing

[jjdrumdude]

He played a G instead of an A for the C9, not what was written.

Bill Evans would not approve of his 13th phobia

[nickmeredith002]

couldn't you just play the Bb and the A in the same octave as the rest of the notes

[dleblanc]

You could, but it's not the same sound. It's like playing a C chord. You can play C, E, G right next to each other or you could play the lowest C on the piano, the G above middle C and then the highest E on the piano. Same chord, way different sound.

[pintomoon]

gummyfrog202, you must be very young.

[emtonstiLord]

I sounds good but its defently not advanced . Nearly every Piano noob can play this easily

[daviethedrummer]

no way lol. even playing the chord is tough (it stretches from A to C, a minor tenth); applying the tremolo is very difficult and, as the guy says, requires a lot of finger strength.

[emtonstiLord]

Yes the guy says did you try ?

[daviethedrummer]

I've been playing piano for twenty years mate, it's the first instrument I learned - I don't need to try something I already know. :)

[manuelergcruz]

It might look easy for pianists who has formal training, but what counts here is the "feel of the blues." You can hit those notes 100% but it takes a lot of experience to get the feel of a blues piano player.

[thegreatdannyboy1791]

gotta be born with it, mate.

[brooped]

Wow, thanks really much, that's so much fun and use! Own you at least thirty!

30 Must-Have Blues Pianist Thanks!

these have helped me considerably.

Go Johny, Go!

[MrKidochi]

what if you don't really have the hand stretch for it? =( I have really fat and small fingers.

[SPARKLINGSERVICE]

I read this and just had to comment.

Dr John, short tubby fingers, Elton John short stubby fingers, Billy Joel, short stubby fingers.

Sometimes a 2 legged dog can run

[zazaray]

Yeah, I generally don't comment, but that comment is ridiculous. My uncle, my cousin, and I all have fairly small hands and my uncle has fat fingers. And we've all got chops. I do have to stretch to get 10 notes, but I get the job done.

[teachmehowtowin]

listen to eroll garner and petrucianni ... small hands, but great chords choruses :p

[TuningFreak23]

yeah , thx 100 times !^^

[musallio]

awesome
