Slow Blues on the piano is the best... so emotional 😮😊

[richardb]

This is one awesome Blues course all wrapped into one video! It sounds so amazingly cool and pro-level. Everyone else I've seen on YouTube teaches 12-bar blues with an amateurish hard-beat left-hand groove, something we might learn in 10th grade of high school. I will be practicing this until I get it right.Thank you so much!

[markhayden]

You're a great teacher! Thank you!

[jhn]

Excellent slow blues piano master class! Very detailed and well paced. Thank you for doing this in a key other than C. Please do more blues, especially minor blues and Chicago blues in other keys such as E, A, G.

Best tutorial ever seen after having reviewing 100's of them. Massive thx.😊

[louisf]

Such an outstanding tutorial about the Blues. Congratulations ! It would greatly help to have the score sheet rather than guessing
from your right hand fingers.

[jeffjohnson]

19:30 i noticed an interesting RH fingering for rookies like me for the swap from the inverted suspended triad chord CFA (fingering 135) to the triad CEG (124)😊

[Marco-bhim]
