Description
Rhythmical Improvisation and the Blues For Piano and Keyboard is an intermediate-level guide to playing, improvising, and writing blues songs on the piano. With over 50 example songs in two different styles - blues and pop/jazz - this book provides suggested fingerings for all songs.
Written in the key of C to simplify learning, the book is divided into two parts: chapters one through seven cover left-hand rhythmic comping and creating your own blues songs using rhythms (riffs), while the remainder explores over 50 twelve-bar blues song examples. Key concepts include the major and minor blues scales, left-hand vs right-hand rhythmical independence, double-stops, and harmonizing the melodic line.
