Blues Piano Easy Lick Ten

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Jonathan Wilson on behalf of Expert Village.com, and we're learning thirty must-have blues piano licks. We're on lick number ten, which is the last of the easy licks before we start to get into the intermediate licks. This one's a little more intermediate than the other licks that we've looked at so far. Not by much, but a little bit. It's got a very long starting note and then a pretty fast little pattern with a little turn at the end. Let's get started. We'll look at it slowly with the metronome and the notation. It goes like this. Okay, a little bit more challenging than the ones we've looked at. In terms of technique, not too much to say here other than the fact that turn doesn't have to be at any particular speed. Like many things in the blues, play it whatever speed you can or want to. It doesn't have to be fast. It can be something slow. The key here is you've got a nice long hanging note and then something that's a little bit faster and the exact proportions between those two doesn't really matter that much. Okay? So, I'll play this pattern over our full blues chorus and it sounds like this. Okay. And we've reached the end of our easy licks. Stay tuned, folks. Coming up next are our intermediate licks starting with lick number eleven.
