Hopped out of bed after watching this and rushed to my piano! Excellent, clear, non-intimidating explanation of how to make the blues scale sound great. Unlock!!!
I watched so many 12 bar blues and improv videos, I didn’t get it. This video alone made me unlock something in my mind that other videos couldn’t do. Thankyou so much!
Alberto, this was exceptional, intuitive, musical, and easy learning. Quite easily the best lesson that I've seen to get the left hand and right to work together to get the grips on blues. You've taught me to get the handle on blues in just one lesson. Cheers mate
I love this tutorial. I have never understood the blues improvisation from other videos. This makes it so easy to follow that I was able to start blues improvisation which is so satisfying. I play it now every day and just enjoy the freedom of playing whatever comes to mind. Thanks for the video!
Wow! Thank very much! In this very short video, you gave to beginners like me so many things to work with. Hand coordination, sense of rhythm, blues scale, left hand bassline. It's very valuable that just follow your guidance the one can able to develop those skills. And especially I want to thank you for how easy and gradually you teach this lesson on improvisation so that a complete beginner able to undertand and repeat and eventually improvise. Thank you again and may God bless you and your loved ones.
Awesome, on my fourth day of learning to play piano and wanting to play the blues I found your video after trying another dozen or so that really didn’t work well for me. Your slow simple progression of the blues chords did it. I’m now playing that with both hands. OK, it’s day four of learning to play the piano, it’s a little clumsy but I’m being slow and precise. Thanks so much. I studied acting with George Schdanoff from the Moscow art theater who worked with Michael Chekhov , He told us that not every actor can teach. I can see that the same is true for Musicians. You are born teacher! Thanks a lot!
Many thanks for your kind observations about teaching and the art of teaching. Teaching is learning is teaching! Passing on facts is not enough. It seems like you practice this approach with acting too.

What an easy yet effective way to get started... this one along with a video Tom released few days ago are my current bible to get comfy and to get to the next level with piano improvisation. Thank you so much again
This is beautiful! I have been learning how to play piano on my own for the last few years & I am especially interested in blues. This is wonderful because you made it so easy! Thank you!!
I have played classical a long time so watched complicated videos on theory. This was super helpful to me for how to approach the transition because I needed to start just where your video started.
Brilliantly explained and beautifully paced so that each step of development is painless - well it will be when I have practiced a lot of times. I plan to rewatch this every day before playing. Massive thanks!
Awesome video! Proper way to show what it’s described as simple and then expanding on it whilst keeping it simple still. Will try this as my blues improv is non existent.
Many thanks for watching! How do you overcome right and left hand challenges when you play blues?
Practice practice practice!
practice.
Play practice play practice play play practice. Repeat....and keep walking to that mirage in the distance.
Blues ain't nothing but the Blues. Everybody got them but you show us how to play them, thanks
Thank you, Alberto! This is the most valuable 7 minutes blues lesson ever !
Thank you! Very nice to hear!
