Sit down at the piano and start to boogie. This easy play along course will have you rockin' and rollin' in no time - even if you never played blues piano before.
David Cohen (The Blues Project, Country Joe and the Fish, etc.) starts you at the beginning, quickly getting you into the elementary theory needed to understand chord progressions and the 12-bar blues form. Then it's right into setting up a solid left-hand rhythm in the bass to create a bedrock for the right hand improvisations to come. By the time this lesson ends, you'll be jamming the blues, plus you'll have a solid foundation on which to build. Level 2.
