The basic jazz blues progression is not the same as traditional three-chord, twelve-bar blues which is played by blues pianists, rock bands and guitarists of all styles. The jazz blues progression has twelve bars also but two more chords are primarily added. All the chords and played with jazz dominant 9 and 13 chords, which produces a more jazzy sound.
The minor blues is not the same as the major blues scale. It has a darker blues sound.

This lesson focuses on the minor pentatonic blues scale, the same one that blues guitar players use a lot. Familiar minor blues clichés that sound very bluesy that you can put into your repertoire and then you will learn how to make your own clichés. Several 12-bar arrangements are studied to give you a starting place for which to build your own improvisation upon.

There are six lessons in the Basic Blues Series. The first four lessons in use a 6-note “major” blues scale. The last two use a minor blues scale and minor pentatonic scale. There are several types of blues scales but these are the two basic ones. They are shown in two different keys, but when put into the same key, they can be combined in any way you get creative with them. Also, you can slide into the white notes from the black ones, which creates even more bluesy sounds.

Jazz Blues for the Solo Pianist is a three-part series. It shows how to create a full piano sound for pianists playing alone, not with a band or bass player. A walking bass line is an integral part of the jazz blues sound so the pianist playing alone needs to play a walking bass line in their left hand. The first part of the three-part series shows you how to make the walking bass lines and how to convert your your dominant 7 chords into dominant 9 chords. We begin with dominant 9 chords and In the last part of the series dominant 13 chords are introduced.
It will be easier to work with this video if you first work with the two lessons above. The shuffle patterns are popular with blues and boogie pianists. In this video I demonstrate how to make one of the most popular left hand patterns by first starting with a straight time (non-shuffle) pattern. Once you’ve get that down then learning the shuffle pattern easier. The shuffle pattern has to stay steady and play through all three chords so you can improvise and solo with the right-hand. I show how to integrate the clichés in Blues Lesson #2 with the shuffle.

The third part of the three-part series shows common variations on the jazz blues progression, jazz turnarounds using tritone substitutions and how a minor chord can used for the ii chord instead of a dominant chord. A familiar "walk down" of chords that can be added in the middle of the progression is explained. Also shown is how to expand dominant 9s into 13s for richer sounding jazz blues chords.
The lesson includes PDFs with hand positions photos for the jazz chords as well written music for the jazz blues arrangements and examples.

Part Two of the three-part series introduces the basic jazz progression for the twelve-bar blues that jazz players are accustomed to when they play the blues. More comp patterns and walking bass lines are explored that can be used with the jazz progression. The theory is explained for the two additional chords added to the normal three-chord blues. PDFs of transcritions and examples are included with the lesson.
The lesson teaches two-handed coordination, groove and independence. With a little practice you will be able to consistently play a strong, repeating left-hand boogie figure. Then you can begin working on blues riffs and scales with your right-hand while your left-hand stays solid and repetitive. Working with basic three-chord blues you will get introduced to a blues scale for improvising over the easy left-hand, walking-boogie, bass line. After you get this lesson working the next one, Blues Lesson Two, will show you how to make blues clichés and blues riffs to add to your groove to make more blues sounds.

If you would like to learn how to play solo blues piano Blues Lesson One is a great place to start. Playing solo blues piano all begins with a repeating left-hand rhythm pattern. There are many fun and dazzling left-hand patterns that can be learned. However, I recommend starting with this one because it has the easiest left-hand pattern to work with that gets you up and rolling with a solid blues piano groove.

Part One of the three-part series focuses primarily on walking bass lines and on how to make dominant 9 chords for the blues. These essential elements must be learned first in order to create full sounding jazz blues arrangements when playing alone.
The walking bass lines and right-hand rhythms are taught within the traditional three-chord blues format first, so you can focus on learning these skills without the added complications of adding the two additional chords that make up the full jazz blues progression. Also some jazz endings and turnarounds are shown The lesson includes PDFs with hand positions photos for the jazz chords as well written music for the jazz blues arrangements and examples.
