What’s up my piano friends! Today we’re going to go over some simple blues piano techniques you can use TODAY to start improvising! And guess what… it’s a lot easier than most people think. In fact, you can literally start improvising with only 3 notes. And it actually sounds good! (You’ll see what I mean in the video).
Once you get those 3 notes rock-solid (we’ll be doing some fun “Call and Response Exercises” to drill them into your fingers and start getting you used to the “Blues Feel”. These are super fun, I think you’ll enjoy them. Oh, and there’s a cool technique where you can turn those 3 notes into 15 notes on the piano withOUT any extra work, just by transposing up an octave (if you don’t know what that means, don’t worry it’s not complicated as you’ll see in the video!)
Ok, then next step we’re going to start adding some “Extensions”. This is simply adding some notes above and below our “Main 3 Notes” to add some texture and flare to your improv skills.
And lastly we’ll talk about the Left hand and how to learn that. By the end of this video you should have a good handle on the blues and exactly how to improvise over it. Then it’s just a matter of going through the progressive Call and Response exercises in the Bonuses section to go from beginner to intermediate to advanced to expert level.
Make sure you download the cheat sheet and bonus videos here to get started:

Next time I want to watch this near a piano and not at 3 am
heh
Couldn’t see where the first note was. Off the screen.
Watching this at 4am... why
Me too
Next time I want to watch this when I have a piano and not a bass guitar
Oh Man !!!
You Are Amazing.
I would bet there would be a lot more piano players if other instructors were as clear and helpful as you.
this guy is incredibly talented teacher. he has mastered breaking down information
It really sucked that I couldn’t see where your left hand fully was
It's a C E G A
@@abbesatty9498 ssEEEGGGAA
Bro no swearing. It's C E G A
Great lesson, can't wait to try it. No cat videos for me!😹. Of all the TH-cam teachers, you are the best. Easy step by step lessons that inspire beginners. Great job Zachary. Sincere thanks, Colin.
Thanks so much Colin. I put a TON of time into these videos (more than people think) so it's always really good to know they're appreciated
No, thank you. You explain things really well and I love your videos.
Sorry, predictive text gave your full name.
I couldn't see the left hand very well so I took a second to figure it out.
Left Hand - CEGA 4 times, FACD 2 times, CEGA 2 times GBDE 1 time , FACD 1 time, CEGA 2 times, repeat
Thank you
Classic 12 bar blues melody
I’ve just recently started playing piano at age 32, I’ve never played before in my life. Your tutorials are amazing and really break down everything in a way where everyone can follow so thank you for that! A dream song of mine to learn is ain’t misbehavin by Fats Waller but most tutorial are pretty high level. I know it’s a long shot but if you could do a tutorial for that song I would very much appreciate it!!
45 years old here starting today let's goooo 🤞
@@ElementForLife78 hell yeah! I’ve honestly fallen off the last few weeks but your comment just got me back in it. I’ll be practicing today after work. We got this.
@@Matt_247I'm 33 and literally starting today. Let's go together!
@@HydrengeaEdelweiss let’s do it!
So sad for you man. You didn't know how to play the piano😥. I'm seven years old. And I'm good at playing the piano.
I was having a lot of trouble figuring out which notes I can and can’t play while improving and this video really made a lot of things clear and the exercises just help boost your ego when you do them this is a great piano lesson
My brain cannot comprehend the notes or how your hand can reach from g to e so I guess I'm rich now 👍🏼😢
Same
jep me too
I thought he will give you the money if you can play it so......
G to E is easy to reach?
Play it stop whining
Zack, I am from Brazil. I am 69, I had a dream: can play Blues. And it seems that, finallly I will succeed!!!!! Thank you very much! 😍😍😍😍😍
Can you already play the blues?
Loving it Zach!!! I'm new beginner, just ordered my piano and I can't wait to learn from this video. This is exactly what I'd love to do one day, play jazz!!! Where can I see the second video for the left hand please? Subscribed! Have a good one!
Just subscribed dude, besides awesome tutorial, you could make a million selling those hats. I like the focus on the building muscle memory in lieu of fumbling with incorrect notes. Learning is facilitated my muscle memory which is enforced by playing the correct notes....brilliant.
ZAC K you are amazing the best teacher
I have followed all the exercises for left and right hand. do you have a you tube that combines both to them🙈 you are my super hero🙏thank you for your generosity with us , it is so valuable 🎉
Oh Lorrrrrrd, this was so fun!!!
I have never had anything to do with blues and behold, today... 💥💯💃
I really love the way you teach!
Glad you enjoy the video! 🎹
Good see some one who goes through all the steps. Well done mate
This is wonderful! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks so much, I appreciate it
more stuff like this pls? i wanna get better at improvisation
Ok will do! I have a Blues Left Hand video coming out next week, but I'll work on more improv stuff for you guys in the future as well!
So he comments on nice comments but none on the million dollars
@@becomeapianosuperhuman6765 hi ima total noob at piano
@Nightbot these comments were a year ago whereas the others are about 7months ago
Love your videos
WOW! Sounds like a really FUN piece Zack!!!!! Thanks for this lesson😂
No problem Geralyn, glad you enjoyed it!
I like this method of teaching, perfect for me.
Really great stuff. I never knew playing something that sounds that good could be within my grasp to learn. When viewing on my computer, it would be awesome if the video included a few more keys for both left and right hands. I was not able to see everything you were playing. But still excellent information.
Great to hear!
Thanks it was simple and easy
Wow. you're really good zack
Thanks Anyanwu. Glad you liked the video! 🎹
So glad your back!!!
Me too!! good to be back :)
Thanks you described my teacher she plays a song and wants me to play like her and I come home to practice and am lost. That's why I look at your videos because you say what I am thinking so now I am not slow thanks again
The key to playing this is RH/LH coordination with the continuous bass run so hoping you are able to upload part 2 when you find a moment. Thanks for getting the ball rolling in a great way!
This is the bestest so far.... thanx
Bro your the best teacher im not lien ur the best man keep doing what makes other happy
thanks superhuman !! hope i can finally play blues !!!
This is great teaching👏👍
I am playing piano more than 10 years already, but I watch all your video, even for beginners, and I keep finding a lot of useful things for my experience. Thank you so much from Russia
thanks your labour
stay healty god bless you.
Hi Zach, great video! I really love your approach and it gives me a lot of progress. I never thought I touch an old piano collecting dust in my bedroom. Now I'm practicing daily and it's my corona fun! Thanks a lot. There is one thing, however. I can't find notes you're playing on a bonus material cheatsheet. I mean you give us all notes, but about patterns, you play to us. Do I must pause every time and try to write down a notes order in every pattern? It would be sweet if you just write notes for these patterns. Great channel. cheers.
Wow. Didn't expect this video to actually teach me anything. Thanks.
1:23 That diagram is absolutely hilarious... and a VERY accurate description of a lot of tutorials.
I am proud to be a subscriber I can't believe I never found any of this in my previous searches years ago.
YOU ARE GIVING PEOPLE INSPIRATION TO PLAY AND THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. MUCH RESPECT
I've been playing piano most of my life but I never learned notes and stuff but he has inspired me too learn notes and learn a bunch of his songs. I tell you what learning notes is the hardest damn thing learning the songs and the piano tutorial stuff is easy I don't know why learning notes is so hard for me and it doesn't matter who shows me at least not yet I've been on a lot of these people's channels.
@@jaysmith2151 I think it just requires constant constant practice and as soon as you get it it's like riding a bike. The muscle memory is what you want to develop, and finger positioning is important to find your playing style
After a month I try to learn this note and now thank you I can play Happy Birthday very well..
You put so much work into each of your videos. Incredible. On behalf of all viewers THANK YOU 🙏
Thanks for letting us know this sounds
Glad you liked the video! 🎹

Great lesson Zac! Especially with the bonus exercises. You put a lot into this video!! You had actually recommended this video in a response to a comment I made on a different lesson. I really appreciated the personal response.

Amazing !!
Glad you enjoyed the video! 🎹
What notes was he playing on base clef
D E G A
Key of C: C E G A
Key of F: F A C D
Key of G: G A D E
Basically the root, third, fifth, and sixth off of the first (I), fourth (IV), and fifth (V) notes of the C scale:
I: C E G A
IV: F A C D
V: G B D E
Then it's some kind of 12 bar blues pattern: www.pbs.org/theblues/classroom/essays12bar.html
@@omarmcsalah445 I think it is all still "key of C", just the I, IV, and V chords of that key. A chord, but broken up into individual notes to make that bass line ("arpeggio" chord if y'all wanna get fancy, haha)
Great video easy to follow instructions. So where is the blues left hand pattern video can't wait!

How do you get your hands to do different things at the same time? I’m fine as long as the other hand isn’t also tapping, but when i try and play both things together, i freeze up.
Thanks for your videos Zach! I can play 10,000 Resons with my piano.
Wow! Zach you are a Genius teacher！ Wow, this is the most brilliant lesson for beginners in the entire world!
