How to Play Blues Piano Improvisation in F

So now that we have the whole tune down, I'm going to run through the whole piece and I'm going to play black chords in my right hand, and I'm going to do a simple, walking bass line outlining the black chords in my left hand, so you have this nice accompaniment that you can run through any tune and we're going to go through it and run through this blues, so you can hear how it sounds, and it's gorgeous. So we're going to run through it right now, so we have our F seven, and we'll do our left hand. F seven, B flat, F seven, C minor, F seven, B flat seven, B diminished, F seven, A, D altered, G, C, A, D, G, C. At the top, F, B flat. And that's your F bebop blues.
