Learn How to Achieve the Blues Sound with Blues Piano Lessons

While on our cruise a few years ago, we visited a blues piano bar. In the blues piano bar, there was a soloist who was pounding out tunes on the piano while singing. This is the point where I began to become interested in learning more about blues piano chords and scales. The chords are made up of several keys that are played at once to create a chord. The next step was to find a blues piano lesson so that you can learn how to play the blue sound on the piano.

The first thing that an instructor will teach you will be the chord progressions that create the blues sound. A blues sound is made using the 12-bar lyric framework, which is a progression of 12 bars in a 4/4 time signature. The chords are labeled using Roman numbers which tells you the degree of progression that the chord is played in. Some examples of blues piano chords are: I, IV, I7, C, F, C7, G.

The next thing that you will learn would be blues scale pianos. The blues scale is a scale of notes that use the blues notes, which are notes that are played in a lower pitch than if they were played in regular a regular pitch. It also uses flat notes, generally, in the third, fifth, and seventh degree. The scales are often based upon individual keys rather than chords.

When you start learning how to play blues piano, you will realize that you will find that this music style allows you to be put in the spotlight. Like in the blues piano bar, the pianist was the only musician in the room, which put him in the spotlight. The blues also allow you to be able to express your emotion into the songs that you are playing and/or singing. Ray Charles, is a perfect example, of a blues pianist who could belt out a solo in a few minutes.

The cool thing about playing blues songs, you aren’t limited to a certain genre of music. You can play any country, rock n roll, jazz, and many more. The pianist at the blues piano bar played songs like “It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere”, “Brown Eyed Girl”, “3AM”, and many others.
