Piano Blues Left Hand Bass Exercise

While you are soloing, you can't be thinking about what your left hand is doing. So the goal is to train your brain to play left hand bass without thinking about it. I've created this piano blues left hand bass exercise just for you. PDF included (see below to download).

Watch & Enjoy!

The vast amount of piano tutorials does not make it any easier to break through the numbers game but yours are clear, concise and very helpful. Keep them going! They are really well scripted, played and recorded. Thanks.

Listening to you soloing above the walking bass line has me thinking about Oscar at the beginning of C Jam Blues. Thank you for the post.
