Blues Piano Lesson - Improvising in D

Hey, this is a short but sweet video on a few licks in D. I hope you like the rather zoomed in camera angle, and that it is not to blurry.
Please leave a comment so I know what you think.
Thanks,
Ben

when this is D there should be an f sharp at the beginning,shouldn't it? Thats what my music teacher in school said, and now im really confused because i have to do my own blues but in this sheme (example): D-D-D-D ; B-B-D-D ; A-B-D-D, And this what u play here sounds like a blues but its a completely other sheme.

Hey,

I am playing the D Blues scale which is based a bit on the D minor scale, in that it has an F natural in whereas D major has an F#.

The chords I am improvising around are based on the minor. You may have been asked to do a blues song in the 12 bar blues sequence. In that case base your song around:

D, G and A, improvising over the scale I show in the video.

D-F-G-G#-A-C-D

Hope this helps.

Hey, Yeah. As a right hand solo that would be pretty cool.

Try using the G# when you can. So a run like:

G#-G-F-D would sound pretty cool.

Hope this helps =)
