13YearOld: Blues Imrov.

My first video; just a taster of me playing blues, based on 12 Bar, on my keyboard. I'm pretty much self-taught, apart from a few lessons from Daniel Smith. I can't read music so all my pieces are improvised.

Thankyou all for watching & please check out my 14 year old video! I think it is much better!!

I've just turned 14, and i play boogie/jazz/blues piano as well. Nice right hand. I use more fast runs and things, whereas you seem to use more chord based impro.

Oh, and getting a band together isn't too hard if you know the right people. I got into the school dixie band when i was 11, and I formed a jazz quintet couple of months ago from the people there.

We're Norton's Dixie kings if you're interested, but nice playing anyway

Cool, I'm 15 now; these videos are fairly old. If you have a look at the ones when I'm 14 it's far more based on trills & runs wheras this was mainly focused on a walking bass. I'm in a band which plays popular music, but the Jazz bands at school require the ability to read music. Cheers for your comment & I'll check out your stuff. James

start playing gigs and shit.

[greasycookingpot]

I dunno where to start. Theres a wierd thing were you can play in a pub but I'd kinda need a band...

And everyone at my school likes playing "rock" ... and shit.

[ds004]

you wouldn't really need a band, try to get like 10 minutes where you can just improvise.

and rock is derived from blues man. If you realllly can't find a band then if you just play a couple short shows at that pub you'll find some people.

Cool.

pretty awesome stuff you got there, but next time, try to slow down a little, you're getting overenthousiastic :D

I have watched all of your videos. I can tell it's when when I hear anything, because you have a certain style. I like it very much. But it is predictable. Try something new. Cheers, and great job!

I use that keyboard when gigging with an m-audio prokeys 88, hohner pianet t and a nord c1 combo organ!

[frizydog]

Wow. =O

You're really good.

Me and my friend play this together. I play top hand while she plays the cords and bottom. We aren't too good, but once I get more rythmed in the blues scale it'll sound better. But we're ten so I guess we're doing great so far. ;D
