Love this! A chance to alternate between playing the chords and then practice and apply the blues scales I’m so used to playing more Jazz oriented lines and riffs and get a feel for the form.
Bought Blues in all keys recently. Wonder if U can do a tutorial on the piano voicings the pianist is doing on the backing tracks. There is a lot of movement and different voicings being used. Trying to figure out by ear but a system would be more useful and faster. Thanks
Great stuff. I've got a "Dudley Moore" piano chart which has Cb and Fb in it instead of B & E as it fits the rules of the scale. I never saw that before.
Very nice! Added this tutorial to my favorites. As a fan of your blues tutorial I noticed that you haven't a tutorial for "Ray's Blues". So, any chance for a nice tutorial of it? :)
Hi Tony, thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial. It helped me put things together. I like the way you teach. Very effective. My simple question is : on the F blues, would you also use de Bb and C blues scales when improvising on Bb7 and C7 chords in order to add variety ? I understand the F blues scale works fine for all the chords. Greetings from Brussels, Belgium
great lesson, also can you tell us the chords on the left hand, i mean the way a pianist plays them. For example you play a F9 but you hit only A Eb G. Thanks again.
He is playing a rootless f9 voicing. The bass plays F so no need for the piano to repeat it.the piano plays 3rd 7th and 9th. In jazz the 5th is implied so no need to play it also. Hope this helps.
@@sgouropan302 Here is a more detailed answer - sit tight. In Jazz, most chords are 7th chords (1+3+5+7) with possible extensions added (9+11+13) - common exceptions to this are sus chords (1+4+(5)+7) and diminished (1+b3+b5+bb7). If playing in trio, the bass will play the root. For major and dominant chords, once you hear the 3rd and the 7th of the chord you will know which chord is as there is no ambiguity, so playing the 5th is redundant. For minor chords, there is a bit of ambiguity because without the 5th you cannot really tell if you are playing a minor (1+b3+5+b7) or a half-diminished chord (1+b3+b5+7). However, in many cases, you can get away without it because tonality, melody, etc will imply either 5 or b5. Also, the bass may play the 5th anyway. Usually, you will play the 5th in diminished chords. With extensions, this becomes a bit tricky as each chord quality will support various extensions. For example, dominant chords (1+3+5+b7) could be voiced as (3+b7+9+13) or (3+b7+b9+#11+b13) - in this last case, playing the 5th would clash with both #11 and b13, so it would be a good idea in not to play the 5th. Tony has a number of videos on box voicings that explain various options of rootless voicings. If you want to understand which extensions are allowed in each chord, the keyword to search for is "allowed tensions". A neat way to organize extensions is by what is called "upper structures".
Hello good afternoon Mr. Tony Winston. I would like to ask you to teach us how to play Miles Davis' songs - "Move". Compliments António Tavares Albufeira - Algarve - Portugal
You are one of the best channels out there, just great love your playing and teaching❤️
Great video Tony, I loved it.
You are great teacher.....love you much
Hi Tony. I would like to thank you for your videos. They have been a great help to me, especially with playing the blues.
Regards Peter

Fabulous. I can jam along with a Bb harmonica in second position. Major fun for someone who only has played blues and rock, THANKS Tony.
Love it! Nice bass as well.
Uncle Sam has never been so hip. Tnis was a fun playalong - Thanks Tony!
Please make more tutorial about blue jazz Piano... thanks
this video taught me how to solo on the piano thank you

I love the turnaround-type chords in bars 8 and 11-12 - but can't work out how this affects the notes/scales I'd choose to improvise the melody from?
Great stuff. I've got a "Dudley Moore" piano chart which has Cb and Fb in it instead of B & E as it fits the rules of the scale. I never saw that before.
This is fun. Thanks Tony. Can you post chart for the left hand that you were doing please?
Thanks Tony, great stuff. Any additional info on left hand passing chords would be helpful

Sometimes they work. C blues scale has many of the same notes as F blues scale. Also the D blues scale is useful over the F7 chord
Amazing 🤭

What a brilliant response. Someone who knows their stuff but doesn’t make it sound tricky
@@jonasmilabe no need to tell you how grateful I am for your answer. Can you explain also why in jazz the 5th is implied
