Fourth in Frank’s HUGE collection of killer blues piano licks to add to your bag… by ear, intellect, eye, and muscle…
Blues Piano Lick 004 (in the Key of E)
A rhythmic, syncopated four-bar idea derived from the E Minor Blues Scale…
Listen to Frank demonstrate one way to play this (with straight quarter notes in the left hand at 110 bpm)…
Performance Tips: 1. Don’t forget to shuffle the eighth notes, 2. No flams between the left and right hand, 3. Rests are notes, too. Give them their full value, 4. Play it the way you’d sing it (and sing it like you mean it!).
