At the moment I'm trying to focus on your embellishments in the right hand. I love the "New Orleans" grace notes you throw in, it really makes the rock sound come alive. I have a couple general questions to help my understanding: Is there a general rule for what notes you choose for your gracenotes? Do you just walk it down the blues scale or do you have another method?
The best rule of thumb for grace notes is to listen to loads of boogie recordings and pick out riffs and phrases you like - try to imitate the sounds you hear on the piano. Dr John's grace notes are, in my opinion, the best. Also carefully study the following lessons: 1. The Importance of Boogie Woogie Twiddly Bits 2.Little things can make or break your boogie style
