Blues Piano Lesson: Blues Piano Lick 012

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

Blues Piano Lick 012 (in the Key of G)

A two-bar idea that emphasizes the minor-major interplay between the b3 (Me) and 3 (Mi) and rounds things off with the bread and butter SoLaDo thing…

music notation for blues piano lick 012
(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 walking a bass at a relaxed 112 bpm)…

Fingering Suggestion: Notice that there are five notes in the whole lick, perfectly suited to dedicating each of your five fingers to each note.

Random Reminder: You’re practicing with a rhythm track, right?


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