    SOME PPL DONT LIKE BLUES AND SOME DONT LIKE OPERA. I LIKE BOTH. I DONT EVEN KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT MAJOR AND MINOR IS AND YET I COMPOSE TUNES JUST AS A HOBBY. IM VERY NIEVE IN SOME WAYS. IWENT FAR TOO LONG WITHOUT PLAYING THE PIANO AND DIDNT OBSERVE SIGNS AND NUMEROUS OTHER THINGS WHEN I WAS TAUGHT MUSIC AS A CHILD. IM THINKING OF COMPOSING A BLUESY TUNE NOW. AT PRESENT IM JUST PLAYING RANDOM NOTES THEN I RECORD IT AND LISTEN TO IT LATER TO SEE IF I HAVE COME UP WITH ANY GOOD SOUNDS. IM PROBABLY TOO OLD TO GET ANYWHERE WITH MY MUSIC NOW THOUGH.

    Ali Phoenix idk about this guy, but I stopped for 4 years while I was in high school bc I was taking up too many things that I genuinely cared about (theatre, Model UN, student council, etc) and I'd come home super tired, I even had cut some of that stuff out bc it was wayyy too much. Even though I used to play so passionately when I was a kid, it became harder to stay focused when I was that tired. I started playing again the summer after I graduated, and I'm still trying to keep up, but I'm having the same amount of fun that I used to when I was a kid and it feels great.

    Been playing classical piano for well over 10 years, and until I picked up a guitar six months ago, I never realized there were even scales outside the standard major/minor and harmonic minor. I learned more about blues and jazz structures in this five minutes than I knew after a decade. Really loving getting this fresh look at music. Thank you!

C blue scale on C major chord progression. 2/ You can use blue scale of its relative minor to play on major chord progression. Am blue scale on C major chord progression. So I suppose we can combine the two blue scales together (C blue scale and Am blue scale) to make a great solo??

    Delighted that you use the intervals to describe. It took me years to work out that all Western Music is built on intervals of the Chromatic Scale. Chords are based on intervals and do not rely on scales rather the opposite is the case. That's how dominants work. This is of course the Minor Blues Scale and is based on the Pentatonic. Yes there is a Major blues Root 2 1 1 3 2 3. I look forward to your other videos as I have just started on Swing and Blues

    Hey there, awesome tutorial! Perhaps you could do any video explaining the various tricks you use when improvising? What I mostly mean is that part where you hit the 2 notes at the same time or quickly flip through 3 notes. I do not see this covered in most theory lessons. Thanks!

Must practice, practice, practice. Thanks for the great videos, really enjoy your teaching method. Looking forward to more. Keep up the great work.
