Description
In this lesson we will focus on the stride technique that we ended on in part 2. We will work through an easy and more advanced stride pattern along with licks and a new Minor Blues Stride song. The licks in this song can be applied to many other blues songs both in Major and in minor!
Trills, turns and double-stops are an important aspect of blues piano playing. We will cover these in detail!
You'll also learn how to improvise using rhythmic cells. Rhythmic cells are short rhythmic phrases that make it easier to create interesting sounding improvisation lines quickly.
