Blues Piano Advanced Lick Six

Hi. My name is Jonathan Wilson on behalf of Expert Village.com, and we're learning thirty must-have blues piano licks. We're well into the hard ones now. This is lick number twenty-six. A fair number of notes, a little triplet turns. Let's just get right into it. You can learn it the fastest that way. Here's half speed, with the metronome and the notation. O.K.? So that's lick number twenty-six, slowly. The things to keep in mind, work on those turns like usual. You just want to kind of lean into those triplet turns. They just kind of happen naturally. Don't focus too hard on playing the exact rhythm. I just let them sort of flow out the way they normally would. O.K.? So, full speed, over the band. That's lick number twenty-six. Now, we're getting through these things. Next up, lick number twenty-seven. It's really a jazz lick, but we'll throw it into these blues licks for the heck of it.
