Questions & AnswersHi. My name is Jonathan Wilson on behalf of Expert Village.com, and we're learning thirty must-have blues piano licks. We're into the deep end of our intermediate licks. This is lick number nineteen. It's actually a little easier than eighteen depending on how you look at it. It's just a series of tremolos that sort of descend and ends up with a pretty nasty little triplet figure at the end. But you can do it. Slowly with notation and the metronome, it goes like this. O.K.? A little bit of practice on that one. You might have to woodshed a bit. But, when it's a good one, those tremolos are kind of neat. Any time you can use those descending tremolos, where it doesn't just hang on one pair of notes like we did in our easy licks. You can kind of move those around a little bit. And this is a good example of that. And, of course, the classic little triplet thing at the end. Just standard blues scale stuff, but it's a nice little pattern. O.K. here's this lick over a full chorus with the band. Alright, another fun one. Now, that's lick number nineteen. Next up our last intermediate lick, number twenty.
