I'm a guitar player. 40 years. Chicago boy. Self taught. My guitar is currently vacationing at the local pawn shop spa. I have a keyboard in my apartment. I gotta jam on something. I can play me some Blues on guitar. Trust me. I learned a ton about the Blues from this tutorial. We guitar players eventually, through much practice, suss out the relationship between major and minor scales over the Blues. Those of us who strive to, that is. But the theory is often a mystery to us. Theory being a mystery to solve can lead to great discovery. That's why guitarists often have such unique styles. We're ignorant of music theory. Keyboard players generally take lessons early on. This tutorial makes sense to me. In fact, I rather easily jammed along on keyboard over it. Fun. Thanks!

I played guitar my whole life. A ton of blues. Used to just sit in my room jamming along to Albert King or Alvin Lee or whoever when I was a kid. But my main passion is songwriting. I spent maybe 15 years writing on guitar. Then one day I just decided to learn piano. Bought a nice electric keyboard and just started learning songs. One of the best choices I ever made. Piano made theory a lot easier to understand for me which, in turn, made my writing that much better.
An absolutely great lesson for us beginners. Thanks so much.
Mr. Kevin sir thank you very much for the sheet music and backing tracks I so much appreciate all you work .thank you again Teddy

A natural teacher. All young kids at school should have the opportunity to have a musician teach in this style . On day one, kids would feel that joy of creating music.

Great job. Thank you from California.
Outstanding lesson. I’ve been doing the classical route but really want to play like (*approximate) Willie Mabon, Mose Allison, Georgie Fame, etc. This is a terrific start and explained with crystal clarity. Love this channel. Thanks!

absolutely fire
Thank you Kevin for tuto -Blues nice -merci encor Robert.T
wow love this hope i can learned
I find your fingering at 8 mins 40 incredibly difficult. It's so hard!!!😊
Good piano..is the best....thank you
Really an Informative video Kevin; extremely useful for someone like me who has been woefully out of touch for the past one year or so. You have provided me with the right kind of motivation to resume practice lol… Till now I had been under the false impression that the route of the major blues actually was that of the minor and vice versa. This video was a corrective one for me. Thank you so much. Cheers…!!!! 7:17
Fantastic!!!!
This is amazing!!!! 🔥🔥
Good tutorial thanks
Amazing! Helpful, easy to catch. Thanks alot bro...
Nice, thanks master
lovely information for newbie who wants to learn jazz. Could you make another video on Blues Chords ( C,D,E,F,G,A,B Major and minor) and practice exercises to match blues
This channel is so helpful. Don't stop sharing music knowledge. I've subscribed already. Thank you ❤❤❤
Watching this now, whilst 'attending' your 'Blues in 30 days' course on Pianote brings it all together. I am glad that I am doing the course first rather than trying to have takled this 5 months ago. I would have thrown in the towel.
excellent lesson...thank u
Amazing ❤
Another great lesson from Kevin at Pianote! Just the right amount of difficulty, challenging but not scary challenging. This is the kind of piano I want to learn to play, Blues, Jazz, Cocktail, with 7th chords thrown in here and there. Where once you get the basics down your only limit is your own imagination!
Love this channel!!
Great piano lesson...
Absolutely amazing….. thanks for giving me the inspiration to trying Blues, Kevin 🎹🎵👍🏻 Best wishes, Steve, Bristol, U.K.
Thank you for your share. I try to learn from you... From Thailand

Well done. Nice guy with gentle, approachable style and personality. Could go a little slower maybe for us beginners when get to D, but this is something that has inspired me. I feel like I can get this stuff now. Thanks!

I slowed down the video playback (in the settings gear of each youtube video) while practising the various parts. Found it helped a lot since I'm a complete novice.
Very good blues Lesson. Thank you.
