It's amazing to play that well when the piano is behind your back!

Finally, someone shows the proper fingering as well! Thanks a bunch!

I feel that knowing the blues is a huge step toward learning jazz. Awesome, thanks Noah!

Noah Yes, Yes I fell all of that BLUES AND JAZZ; IT REALLY PICKED ME UP.

This is it!! Wow! As soon as the video started I was like, that’s what I was looking for. I’ve been trying to frame my view to go from “I always wanted to learn how to…” to “how do I play…”. This helps to shift towards action and leads with curiosity rather just staying in fantasy of “I’ve always wanted to”.

Thanks for this, Noah!

These are straight piano cheat codes! So great! Thanks, Noah!

Everytime I got exhausted from modern music, blues is my medicine

Thank you for the tons of great info here, I love blues piano and am learning. You just gave me hours more of joyful practice ahead. Also it’s just entertaining to watch you play these so well. Thanks again!

Great explanation, thanks you!! Sometimes I stay at a hotel and bring a keyboard along. Those moments are ideal to practice - nobody is around, got all the time.

You are really talking now those Licks are saying a lot great

[thereallightwarrior]

Those are excellent riffs I eared out years ago, and they are very useful, and Noel does a GREAT job explaining how to play them. He should then add the left hand voicing comp, and tying the licks together in longer phrases. Then, show variations in context, and how to take the same idea, playing “geometrically”, to extend the harmonic ‘alphabet’ into altered scale/chord phrases, such as the flat & sharp 9, etc.

More blues on this Channel. Some nasty 12 bar blues and slow blues. Blues is everything .🎉🎉🎉

Thanks Noah for explaining everything in such a straightforward way, easy to understand even by foreigners! 👍

[bluetrane]

I've needed these fingerings for so long, thank you so much! I would never be opposed to a second video btw 😊

[jeffjohnson]

Noah my name is Grant and I’ve come across your lessons and definitely will be tuning into them as often as possible…would there be a way you could demonstrate some Slow Blues Rhythms with Just a left hand chord with right hand improvising with licks and runs…haven’t seen any other teacher yet that has demonstrated this type of playing….Please respond to this when you get a chance…Thanks so much and look forward to seeing your lessons in this regard..❤🎹

[chelseacollins]

Noah, you help my songwriting and playing so much. I feel like i just had one of those galaxy brain moments when you said to keep the pinky where it’s at for messing around with blues riffs 🤯

[TinaTaraOfficial]

Thank you for this video, I love the licks and have started practicing them, but i’m a little confused… I have started practicing the minor and the major blue scale… But you are playing different notes than in those scales as well. I can’t find the type of blue scale that you were playing. Can you shed light on that? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

[shaipah]

Love these licks. I've been practicing No.4.
