Playing 1st Chord of F Major Blues Scale on Piano

We are going to start our adventures in the key of F for our F blues and we are going to start of by doing our F seven chord. Blue is comprised with all F seven chords, so if we start right here in F we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. That is your F seven chord (playing) so get that patter from under your head and we're going to number it one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. When I say when we go to our four chord, we are going to go to to B flat right, one, two, three, four and our five chord is a C. So all these chords come at F, so one chord, four chord, five chord, makes sense, right? Then we have our F blues scale which actually looks like this. (playing) So you got F A flat, B flat B and C, then you have E flat on the top. (playing piano) Now I'm going to take that blue scale and play it with my right hand, then play this nice I'm going to go one, three, five, one, four, six, with my left hand. It's really all the rhythm you put into it that give it that umpth. (playing piano) You can just sit for hours doing this just soloing with your right hand and really get that rhythm in you, and that's our first chord of blues in F.
