Learn This Impressive Blues Run (Easy To Play)

Sign up for MORE awesome content at bit.ly/PianoPigAcademy
In this piano tutorial, I'm going to show you how to play a cool blues run. It's a very impressive lick that's actually quite easy to play. It's based around the minor blues scale and can be used in various different situations.
There are two parts to it, the main part which is repeated over and over and can be extended to however long you choose. Then there's also the first part which is a great lead-in to the main riff. This 1st part can also be used as a standalone lick.
If you have any questions, just leave a comment below!

[@nate_kachow2904]

Hey!! I just recently found your channel, and I love your videos :D you teach everything in an easy to understand way, which is awesome and makes learning a bit more fun. Thanks!!! It really helps 🖤🖤🖤

[@Piano_Pig]

That's so great to hear you've been enjoying the videos! 😀🙏

[@bewinson]

Marvelous man. An eye opener for me.

[@Piano_Pig]

Thanks man! Glad you liked it 😀

[@bewinson]

@@Piano_Pig your name is fantastic.. that's really an amazing one.. The "pianopig".. nobody would've thought that way. It's similar to a guitar channel recently I came across.. it's name is 'shut up and play your guitar"... Similarly "pianopig"..ha..ha.

[@dincerekin]

i might have missed it, but did you give the chord names at some point?

[@raavg2332]

Does this work at any point in the blues progression?

[@sapphy2]

Excellent. What chords with it

[@justinfisher5339]

congrats on your move!

[@Piano_Pig]

Thank you! 😀

[@mdvs42]

most impressive! I was looking for the perfect blues run to warm up and found it! Thank you:) SO what chord would you end on? G7?

[@ryanthepianoman27]

G ADD 9

[@TheBlueGoldenHawk]

Giving tips on fingering would make this much better. Just showing the notes and barely showing your fingers makes it much harder to figure out

[@edrock26]

Another cool tutorial! I love it! Thank you, Simon!

[@Piano_Pig]

My pleasure!

[@ivarlothbrok1608]

Soy Mexicano y you are mi amigo, I am musico.

[@anthonyscott16]

Thanks for the great lesson.

[@Piano_Pig]

No problem! Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@gabethebabe8187]

Awesome video man! Will there be another jam competition coming out soon?

[@Piano_Pig]

Yes! I'm planning on doing one soon, keep you're eyes peeled 😀

[@gabethebabe8187]

Sweet!

[@Pulse2AM]

It would be great if you gave the fingerings of the run, it's hard to follow without rewinding over and over.

[@v.a.carter5406]

Is this it? F,Gb,G,E,Eb,C,Bb,G,Gb,F,Eb,F,G,Eb,C,Bb,G,C I am a total beginner and I played it in slow motions a couple times to know which keys it is. Other than that I am learning the songs included with my light-up keyboard, It sounds really cool and I want to learn it.

[@darrinsiberia]

U should do the cartoon voice for Heathcliff 's long lost twin brother Jazzcliff

[@darrinsiberia]

On the second riff fingerings is crucial firstly roll from F up to F # then G using fingers 3 , 4 , 5 then coming back down E should be 3 E Flat 2 and C should be 1 (thumb) now... this is important! Finger FOUR goes over thumb to B flat... then 3 is G then 2 and 1 rolls F # to F then 2 over thumb to E flat... then 4 to F natural 5 to G 3 to E flat 1 to C 2 over thumb to B flat thumb down to G then finally 4 on C

[@DarthMakroth]

That intro sound reminded me of pvz lol

[@larsuk9578]

Great lick, love it! Its also interesting because its adds a few more jazzy elements like when it goes from the C down to the b7, b5 and 4, which is something Miles Davis would do. Also like playing the 3rd and b3. Endless variations possible :-)

[@Piano_Pig]

Glad you enjoyed the video man! Yeah that C to b7, b5, 4 is a classic Miles Davis sound 😀

[@rolandofrancis5254]

I’ve always loved your intro, that piano sound is beautiful😍 Do you have a video about it?

[@thomasgale96]

im pretty sure theres a video about it

[@Piano_Pig]

There certainly is a video about it, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmmtanawiL2li6c

[@rolandofrancis5254]

Thank you very much🎹🔥

[@danielhrafn2344]

Does it work in Am???

[@Piano_Pig]

It works in any key, but you'd have to transpose it to that key!

[@parlomur7515]

Excellent ! But is it possible to have a situation, a score of blues with that ?

[@maxallum6958]

hey waht keyboard do you use

[@Piano_Pig]

Nord Stage 2 HA88

[@maxallum6958]

@@Piano_Pig thanks :)

[@earth2.022]

wtf i learned it when you show its 1 block played 3times

[@athmajks6768]

You look like Alan walker

[@ryanthepianoman27]

I find this very difficult to play at that speed.

[@Piano_Pig]

Slow it down then. If you're making repeated mistakes, you're practicing too fast. You can only play fast by practicing slow.

[@lionsskyblue442]

you marry me and we make music, yes?! thanks for lesson

[@timjohnson2186]

pig here

[@Stadsjaap]

Lol the acoustics in there are horrible.

[@Piano_Pig]

Yeah I'm working on it! 😀

[@pierrevanhalteren5733]

Too fast...for beginners youtube seems to be filled with sadistic individuals playing piano too fast while pretending to show pieces for beginners. The first channel that will really play real slow will have millions of viewers. Imagine we need to check out the notes AND see which finger do what.

[@johnbell913]

Just slow down the speed playback. Make sure you learn and practice your scales.
