Nice to see a blues tutorial that doesn't just shuffle between the fifth and sixth in the left hand. More please, Adam.

[@thekeyscoach]

On the way! 🚀

[@anthonyclegg1511]

Agree. ❤️🎹.

[@dontrapani7778]

Grooves 1 & 2 are very cool and with a little practice I can get them down at a slow tempo. Gaining speed will take more time but I feel confident. Groove 3 is beyond my capabilities at this point!

[@thekeyscoach]

Awesome - glad you enjoyed! Groove 3 is definitely a challenge! 😅

[@jkimp9522]

Will you please do a video for the blues run and chords at the end? Love it! Thank you!!

[@thekeyscoach]

So glad you found it useful!

[@rebanelson607]

Thanks for another EXCELLENT tutorial! I hope you become a KZbin millionaire!

■ 🎹🎹🎹 ■ As a 50+ years veteran player, and the currently past 21+ years on the road professionally as the piano player/backup vocalist for country music star Sammy Kershaw (as well as Aaron Tippin and Collin Raye in our combined "Roots and Boots" your), and having taught privately for many years, I applaud your excellent teaching skills!! Breaking down what to "us" is simple patterns, in such a digestible exact manner, along with your very approacable and "understanding" personality... dude, you're gold! 😉 Glad to see your channel is so successful! I have no idea how much 💰 you're earning from it all, but bravo to you, and well deserved! Not only does the basic knowledge and teaching have value, but all the WORK of producing videos is alone worth the income! 😆 I'm in the brainstorming process of developing my own teaching website (I need retirement income ahead.. I'm getting old! 😂) and I appreciate gleaning a few great teaching techniques from your own excellent work! Much continued success to you, my fellow 🎹 playing friend across the pond! 😊 (my own channel's videos are a bit embarrassing, not really intended toward being representative of my playing, but it was "something to do" during a lot of covid lockdown... just a little disclaimer there 😁)

[@thekeyscoach]

Ah Steve that’s such a lovely message. Thanks so much for reaching out. So glad you’re enjoying the videos - they’re a lot of work, but I’m so glad people all over the world are engaging with them and finding them useful. Makes it all worth it!

[@ASMRChess]

Amazing video. Such a great teacher.

[@brianearl362]

You gotta do a video on that turnaround at the end!

[@thekeyscoach]

Great idea Brian! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Lovely stuff, beautifully explained. More please, including that lovely right-hand riff at the start!

[@ScarletteFiesci]

Loved it Adam but then that was a foregone conclusion. Thank you for the PDF though. As always they are so helpful. My issue I think is not so much being able to improvise although I thought that that was the issue for me, I have just made the connection that I just don't remember sequences as well as I used to. I have to play them and let it sink in! Must be my age lol! Thank you for another one of your great, fun and insightful lessons. Looking forward to the next one.

[@thekeyscoach]

Thanks Scarlette - so glad you found it useful!

[@Tomas57959]

Kool cat👍👍🇵🇷

[@franswijngaarden6796]

[@thekeyscoach]

Thanks! Shoot me an email and I’ll make sure you get it - [e-mail]
