Fourteenth in Frank’s HUGE collection of killer blues piano licks to add to your bag… by ear, intellect, eye, and muscle…
Blues Piano Lick 014 (in the Key of A)
A four-bar idea that emphasizes Me and La (the under-appreciated “fourth blue note”) and finishes off by emphasizing Do with some tasty syncopation…
Listen to Frank demonstrate one way to play this (with a double-pump walking bass at 102 bpm)…
Fingering Suggestion: Middle finger on the A and let your other fingers naturally fall in place.
Interpretation & Technique Tip: Sing it the way you want to play it and play it the way you’re singing it, either out loud or inside your head in your mind’s ear!
Random Reminder: The key to success isn’t talent; it’s love and discipline. (See: productive study & practice habits).
