How to Read & Write Blues Piano Scales in F Major

Now we are going to go through and take a look at the written form of the blues. So we're going to start right here, zoom in take a look at our paper. We start right here and we have our one chord, four four measures, then we have our four chord. So we have F four four measures, then B flat for two measures, then go back to F our one chord for two measures. Then we play our five chord so C, then B flat to F for two chords, so we have one four, one, then five, four, one, so this nice simple progression and the same for every blues. We're just going to go and walk through it now so we're going to start with F and do this one, three, five, to one, four, six in every chord that we have those three chords. So we're going to do the solo with the blues in the right hand. (playing piano) Four back to one, now we go to five, four, one again now we are going to look at it, one, one, one, four, four, one, one, five, four, one. (playing) So that's the basic run down of our blues form in F.
