Thank you very much for sharing. You have a very calming voice. Your imagery related to the "shape" are very helpful. Would you share some insight into improvisation (play some examples). I hope that you continue to make more videos. Again; thank you very much.
@bluenoteinc Thanks for your kind comments. A video with improv sounds like a great idea. I'll see what I can do. Meanwhile, the biggest trick is to choose a few notes (the 1 b3 and b7 work the best), create a pattern, repeat the pattern (3 x), then change the pattern to something different. Land on notes 1, b3 and 7 on the most important beats (beats 1 and 3) to ground it into the key. :-)
@bluenoteinc Thank you for your response. Question: I have watched several videos related to the "blues scale" (in different key's), which ones are played the most? Also; I am learning the piano and organ at the same time, do the lessons apply to both instruments? Again, thank you!
@bluenoteinc Everything on piano does apply to organ (except the organ also has bass notes played by the feet). Can you clarify your question a bit? When in a given key (e.g. "C", in which chords 1, 4 and 5 are C, F and G), you could either use the C Blues scale for all 3 chords, or each individual blues scale (C Blues F Blues, etc.) with each chord when it is played. :-)
two questions whats the difference between the C Blue scale and the C Minor Pentatonic Scale? i heard this was the same. also what scale would you play Jazz music in?
@Silas150 Hi Silas. The C minor Pentatonic scale has all the same notes as the C blues scale EXCEPT FOR the F# note. So it has: C Eb F G Bb C. Guitarists find this scale particularly effective for using when soloing, although they can also use the full blues scale (which includes the F# note). Jazz music uses lots of different scales, depending on what key you are in. I recommend "Patterns for Jazz" by Coker, Baker etc. or any of the Jimmy Aebersold books for jazz info. Enjoy
the triangle shape thing worked well, i feel like a 8yr old though.

the F# key is a G flat. If you going to discuss music call all the note FLAT or SHARP. Don't use both.

Yep, it probably would, as most of Mack the Knife is done with a C6 chord. Let me know how it goes!
