Brief Introduction

Learn how to play jazz and blues on the piano!

Description

Want to add more jazz and blues style of playing to your repertoire?

This course is an excellent place to start if you have some experience playing the piano but would like to move into the Jazz and Blues Style of playing. In this course you will begin by brushing up on the basics:

piano chords
comping
bass lines
improvisation

Each chapter covers a topic completely so that you can watch it over and over until you are ready to move on at your own pace! Topics include:
the 12 bar blues progression
rhythm techniques
chord voicings
blues basslines
bassline approaches
comping chords
improvising over the blues
creating licks
coupling exercises
licks with bassline
creating your own composition
fills, runs and endings.

After you have learned each exercise you will be able to easily put it all together and transition what you have learned to other songs in your repertoire.

The bassline pattern that you'll learn in this lesson is critical. Not kidding, you will use this technique for years to come. I still use these concepts on gigs to this day.

I'll see you inside the course!
