The Blues Scale is a jazz scale with
an identity all its own. A characteristic of the Blues Scale that is so attractive
to the beggining pianist is that, once this scale is learned, it
sounds great when played with all three chords in the basic blues
form. In other words, one scale sounds great and can be played
over the entire form.
Here is the C blues
scale:
C Eb F Gb G Bb C
Of course, a
certain amout of initiative and creativity will make for more
interesting sounds. That said, getting involved with the Blues is a
very popular way to get started when learning the piano.
Of course, playing the Blues goes beyond playing one scale
exclusively. But that's the great thing about learning the piano and
being involved with music - there's always more to learn! Jazz Piano
For Beginners will give you a great kickstart when it
comes to learning more about blues piano. In addition, it provides
great food for thought beyond the topic of blues piano.
