Playing 1st Chord of B Major Blues Scale on Piano

Now we are going to go over our B blues and to start that we are going to start off using our B seven scale. So we start here right on B, so we have our B go C sharp, D sharp, E F sharp, G sharp, A B, so we have these two sharps here. That is your B sevens scale and what we are going to do with our left hand now is we are going to do a little boogy woogy. (playing) Where we go one, three, six, seven, I got to get my boogy woogy scales up myself and then your left hand or your right hand. What I want you to do is you play your blue scale. So we start here B D E F G sharp and B, so we are using all these white notes even though you have these four sharps where this is our blue scale. (playing) So now I'm going to do my boogy woogy with my blues. (playing piano) So that is a basic boogy woogy with your B blues scale in your right hand.
