Blues Piano Lesson: Blues Piano Lick 003

Third in Frank’s HUGE collection of killer blues piano licks to add to your bag… by ear, intellect, eye, and muscle…

Blues Piano Lick 003 (in the Key of G)

One bar long, uses the exact same 3-8-b7 sequence for each of the big three chords, heavy emphasis on the b7 delivered with some tasty syncopation…

music notation for blues piano lick 003
(1/4 notes in the bass shown so that you can clearly visualize the rhythm in the right hand)

Listen to Frank demonstrate one way to play this (using a double pump left hand at 100 bpm)…

Performance Tips: 1. Don’t forget to shuffle the eighth notes, 2. No flams between the left and right hand, 3. To get the right feel, emphasize the syncopated b7s.


(If you learned something here today, consider buying Frank a coffee to say thanks)
