Come ON people ! Please don't forget to thumbs-ups and leave comments for apreciation ! Nate is one of the Best teacher out there ! He gives so much info everytime ! Beautiful melody .Thanks again Teacher for this excellent video ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😁
YOu can leave some space....... I think thats really important and what so many tuts miss. A bit like when your mooring a boat, "neutral is your friend".
Awesome as usual, Nate. You’re like a magician who gives away his secrets. I’m always amazed when a song sounds hard but is actually easy. (And vice versa!) Of course it’s now up to us to make something worthy with this magic! Thanks for another excellent lesson.
It is amazing how easy it is to improvise so cool when you know some great pattern. Thank you for this tutorial ❤ Please keep posting videos how to play blues 🙏
Just found you Nate! I have been playing for IDK, a long time! Put sheet music in front of me and come hell or high water, I can (ultimately) play it. It is Improvisation that has been something that has been a challenge and something I really want to get better at. I have learned the Blues scale, but have had issues figuring out the chords for the left hand/bass. This was so very helpful - thank you!!! I hope this takes me to the next level!
THANK YOU SO MUCH…. I am intermediate player now teaching myself the blues…. I just did not know where to place my fingers…. I feel like I am relearning piano, as a beginner I am so out of whack…. thank you…😁
I've been improvising with 12 bar blues mostly with C / G minor major blues scales on and off for quite some time now...I'm not really a fan of boogie or woogie or faster blues and the 12 bar blues pattern is starting to get boring for me. So you've opened up a whole new improvisation track for me with the chord progressions in this video! And the improv at the end is great, please keep it coming with similar videos like this one:)
I've started my journey of learning styles/chord progressions to solo and improv on instead of just learning songs. You have a great way of teaching and making it simple.
Have been working on the C minor blus scale over 7th chords. Find myself repeating right hand patterns that sound good to my ear. Use your advice and try to mix it up. Your audio sounds great! Thanks Nate.
Thanks, Nate! Appreciate all you do here. Just finished house of the rising sun, then working on comfortably numb, then the blues. Can’t keep up with you! 🤠 Thanks again for considering Seger old time rock and roll as well as Journey Don’t stop believin’
Go verrrrrry slow at first! Also, key is...if you cant do each hand separately with total ease, putting them together will only lead to frustration. Just be patient with yourself, everyone struggles with this at first!
Hey nate new subscriber here awesome stuff! Im a theory guy hope you can help me..any reason why those chord progressions work well with the blues scale? Why wont other progressions work?
Hi! Any chord progression using chords from the key of Cm (Cm, D°, Eb, Fm, Gm, Ab, Bb) will work, as the Cm blues scale is based off of that key. Blues is unique in that you can mix and match major and minor keys for that bluesy tension, so some chords from the key of C MAJOR also work, (C, F, G). The main chord progression I do here is mostly in the key of C minor, but borrowing the F chord from the key of C major and I think it sounds cool. But if you were to deviate to a chords from another key entirely (i.e. C#) it would sound bad unless you were using the C# blues scale. Cheers!
Super cool, Nate. Another outstanding lesson. This will be fun to dig into for me. Now with the 12 songs you’ve taught me, it will be nice to master this approach allowing me to sit down with a focus on the creative side. I appreciate you! 🤠
I’ve been looking at a few other videos on you channel. Great! Please consider doing a video on ‘Stand by me’. The syncopation in that song is hard to get with both hands
Good question! The blues scale is a modified pentatonic scale which is a smaller collection of notes that works well over many chords. It doesnt work quite the same way as a major scale that defines a "key" where you would expect the chords to be made only of notes from that scale. Even then, rules are often broken. There's also the added dimension that blues scales work well over the major and paralell minor - that bluesy sound thrives on tension. This chord progression is a combo of the keys of C minor and C major. It's helpful to learn and follow music theory conventions, but at the end of the day, the important thing is that it sounds good!
Thanks SO much Nate, I learnt so much from your tutorial - it was very natural the way you played. The best beginners one I've come across to get me goin and making some cool sounds. :)
Do you have any slow blues with left hand chords with right hand licks and runs..just starting with blues and would love to see some instruction with different blues scales etc🎹thanks Grant 😊
This is solid gold Nate! Thanks so much for this lesson, it has really help I need. I learnt the classical way as a kid and at age 75 have recently returned to keyboard. Loving it so much and have subscribed to your great channel.
I have been watching the song tutorials and love them! These fundamental videos are taking me to another level! Thanks for putting the content out there for us!♥️🎹♥️

This video was really helpful, but my god, my hands don't want to work past the count of 4 😂 my left hand won't work together with the right one
Go verrrrrry slow at first! Also, key is...if you cant do each hand separately with total ease, putting them together will only lead to frustration. Just be patient with yourself, everyone struggles with this at first!
Improvising is easy, its remembering what I improvised that is the problem 😂
True! Recording yourself improvising (voice memo on your phone?) can be a huge help!

Superb lesson again, Nate.
Why are the chords not in the notes of the scale?

No problem 😊
Really enjoy your teaching style. Thank you so much!
