Pick Up & Play Blues
Pick Up & Play Blues is designed to help you quickly learn practical blues piano ideas in a clear, straightforward, and musical way.
Each lesson focuses on a single usable concept — such as an introduction, turnaround, ending, blues form, groove, or all-round blues riff — allowing you to gradually build a growing toolbox of blues piano ideas that can be mixed, matched, and adapted across different blues keys and styles.
While many of the lessons are taught within a twelve-bar blues context, the ideas can often be adapted, combined, and used in different ways within your own playing.
The lessons are designed to be practical, enjoyable, and easy to revisit while helping you develop confidence, musical feel, and your own blues sound over time.
Some basic familiarity with the piano keyboard and note names can be helpful, though the lessons are taught in a practical step-by-step way without unnecessary theoretical complexity so players can learn at their own pace.
Lesson difficulty and playing demands may naturally vary depending on the musical idea being taught.
Every lesson includes a short demo preview so you can hear exactly what you’ll learn before purchasing the downloadable video lesson.
