    I have been using your tip from an earlier lesson (on the key of G, I think) where you say the thumb on the G and D (C and G in C) is a good "rule of thumb" in most cases. When playing guitar and mandolin, finger patterns are no problem because I can slide up or down. But the piano often leaves me confused about this issue. I am OK if I follow your patterns but left to my own devices I often flounder a bit.

    I play this first C minor scale every day, but never used my fingers correctly...

      Well, there is not CLEAR best solution in most keys. The point is, even if its not the BEST you are using, stick to it but only use THIS ONE in standard situations..Dr. John uses sometimes "lousy" fingersettings from the classical point of view. But he has internalised that and is very fast with that.

    Hey folks! I cut a bit too much away in the beginning, showing it more slowly. Please use the TH-cam slow down function. Sorry!

    This looks like a great exercise but I wanted to ask what the main benefit of doing it is. Is it mainly to develop speed when soloing over a fast track? I also heard that just using the common blues scale is not ideal as it makes the solo sound too corny and predictable. Curious about some more info on the application

      The thing with speed is one aspect. A comparison: World class tennis champs practice just the back hand for hours. Then the volley. etc.. Same reason. Also I did not say this is the ONLY exercise in Blues piano.. and I promise you, world class solos have been played with just the minor blues scale plus the drone lick, and a bit of trills here and thre. And far from corny!

    Referring to finger setting at 1:13 , I forced me to customize playing the b flat with the second and 1(thumb) the g, so I get the 4 rth on the f sharp

    Hi Christian. I had to slow this down and watch in quarter speed. I had to slow down your speedy fingers lol. Must say you sound wwwooooonnnnddddeeeeeerrrfuuull in sloooooowwww mooootion haha. I've got to learn the blues scale better (as well as I know other scales or my fingering for them) so this can help me heaps with that. Thanks again

    Every Christian Fuchs video is like a crazy German blues-ninja with a samurai sword who chops a hole through the wall, climbs in, gives you a baby duck and then walks off into the sunset.

      I loved The Seven Samurai and always wanted to be one of them, the silent one who is also the most skilled one, the type who walks off into the sunset. So the last part I managed! Yes!!!!!

    This is very helpful. I have been thinking and trying to do very similar stuff recently. Only this is better. I really appreciate the fingering suggestions. Also, I had to laugh when you set off the dog with your raptor sounds. Thank you for doing these tutorials.
