Chords for SLOW PIANO BLUES FOR BEGINNERS

Hi guys, some people were asking about slow piano blues
_ Now we've kind of done quite a lot on the blues on this channel the blues scale how to use it
We've got a whole playlist on that but slow blues.
How do we play slow piano blues?
Well, you play the blues slowly
So if you come over [Dm] to the left hand camera person
What I would do in the key of G [N] if you want to do slow blues
The first thing is to get a nice left [G] hand going and I would simply do the chop in G and play it slowly
I mean sort of stating the obvious here, but the first thing to do for slow blues
I would do is simply do that the chop.
_ _ _ _ Okay, so we all know then come to the right hand camera person and the next thing _
You want to do stuff like this? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Comes up again [Gm] in the blues, the blues scale in G.
[B] So all I'm doing it
[Eb] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ We can add a G there _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Just singly _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Use [C] some trills _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ Octaves are a good thing to use in the [D] slow blues
Just _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ the blues scale _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[C] and then trill _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Dm] _ And then vary the volume, [G] you know go quiet, quiet _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now remember the trill is really important in slow blues because it's like sort of crying really _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ So what I've done there is just I've thrown out a few ideas for slow blues piano
And just to recap it all you want to do first [D] of all is do the chop very slowly in the left hand in the right
Hand come over to the right hand camera person in the right hand
All you need [G] to do is first of all learn [Gm] the blues scale in G
I'll put a little playlist at the end of this lesson about [N] the blues scale and how to use it and I'll put that up
On the end of this video so stay until the end of the [G] video and I'll put up that playlist just in case you don't know
[Cm] How to use a blue [Gm] scale, but I'm doing the blues scale [G] in [G] octaves
_ Trilling the octaves like that _
_ _ _ Doing [D] this very famous blues [G] riff _ _ _ _ _ _
Comes up again in a lot of blues or
_ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ Trilling like that.
I also trill like that
And I also trill like that _
Three types of [G] trills, one more time _ _ _
Just the octave with the middle with the five, _ _ that's the seventh and just the five in the seventh
_ Practice those trills, do octave trills _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ Above all, above all
[C] Play with [Gm] feel
_ [G] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [G] The thing about slow blues and perhaps the most important thing is that you can have all the technique in the world
But if you don't mean it when you [Eb] play it, it won't be the blues
So remember don't get caught so much caught up
which is a big mistake of beginners in learning all the blues scale all the kind of trills and
You play it and there's no feeling [N] behind it because the blues is all about feel and
You've got to feel it really got a meaning in order for it to be convincing blues
Another thing you might want to do is learn the blues scale and how to use it.
