Thank you for watching! What blues piano riffs are your favourite when you improvise over 12 bar blues structure?
mY favorite is the new orleans style e flat + g - c - f + a
also could you please make an advanced boogie-woogie tutorial or an advanced blues tutorial. Im at the point where I can play several different left hand patterns with the blues scale pretty confidently but I lack variety as i am just going up and down the scale.

i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Randy Lucca instablaster ;)
I love how this guy is becoming one with the void in his background
Be at one, with the void, with the blues.
LOL
Lol
Dude that’s fucking hilarious 😂
@Andrew Wow - you read my mind…two years later 😂
Tom Donald is definitely one of the best combination piano theory/practice teachers on CZcams. I know and love a lot of his videos, but it was in this video that I really understood how blues works for the first time: It's the mix of classical and blues scales! This seemingly self-evident point is not clearly worked out and appreciated even in otherwise well-structured textbooks! But HE is (one of several, but better known!) extremely crucial. Tom Donald, thank you so much for so many wonderful things on the piano over the years!
Thankyou AK for your comments and appreciation, it means a lot to us. More Blues to come shortly!
what a delightful teacher! So many seem to want to show off what THEY can do. Tom focuses on us, shows us what we can do. Thank you!
Thanks for your kind words, Linda.
I think we have the impression that there showing off .To teach or to play are two type of different talent.
Fabulous!
Thank you from Brasil
AWESOME and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol thanks Sir!
I love these tutorials!
Hello I’m Tom Donald , love the opening :) ❤️ Sam diego
fellow aussie here - mate that was a great video and was a pleasure to hear you explain it with your obvious passion. Im gonna put some hours into learning this stuff and getting that damn left hand under control :D
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Like someone lifting a curtain I could never quite get around.
Thank you so muc for at great tutorial!
You're very welcome!
とても分かりやすいです。素晴らしい先生です。感謝❣️
Thank you. I have been going around in circles and going nowhere for weeks trying to find a clear Intro to the blues. This is the best by far. Your warm, humble approach is lovely. Please do some more blues vids for beginners if possible. Yes I've subscribed here from Melbourne, Australia. Keep up the good work. I'll be back for more.
Many thanks, Allison, we already teach a few students remotely from Melbourne. Wishing you all the best from the Northern Hemisphere. www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com
Brilliant!!! Perfect for us over-the-hill beginners! Thank you!
I started to learn piano two days ago, with some decades of guitar under my belt I found it somewhat easier than I expected to play with both hands. As I worked on familiarizing myself with the keys I found some of those blues sounds. You just helped a lot in my getting the blues down. I’m practicing about 6 hours a day. Thanks for the lesson🎹😷🇺🇸
Piano is a great transition from guitar, best of luck with your new musical journey.
..since I have looked your session, I stand up in the morning, and before I began my homeoffice work, I hear your piano and sit one hour on my little keyboard and learn it by doing.....nice teching ;-)
Thanks. Loved the mixolydian line.
Great scale, so is also combining major and minor blues, we have a tutorial on this subject : czcams.com/video/RJu-wptS6Ng/video.html
a floating head is teaching me Blues... nice
I should consider going full Hitchcock on my next video....
That has instantly brightened up my day! Many thanks! 🌷
Many thanks Diorrisimo
So awesome! This is very helpful and easy to follow. Thanks 🙏🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the video..Gonna practice tommorow👍
I made the mistake of clicking on the the vid at work. After 2 minutes I got the urge to jump to the piano but wait, there is not one around here!!! This is gonna be one looong day. Needless to say, Tom, you've earned an instant subscribe.
Thanks, Kahor, we have more tutorials on our website www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com
Fabulous lesson, accessible, straightforward, methodical, and fun! Thank you
Thank you for your positive feedback! It's wonderful to hear that you found the lesson accessible, straightforward, and enjoyable. That's exactly what I aim for - making music learning a fun and approachable process for everyone.
Thank You! I've been playing guitar for years and knew piano chords but I just inherited a keyboard so I've just spent a week learning different scales. Right hand is doing decent but two handed playing (while playing leads) blows my mind. I just watched this. I'm gonna fire it up again in a bit with the piano in front of me. So wanting to be able to improvise blues and jazz piano!
What fascinating about the blues is that it can never get boring!
Many thanks for watching Arwah! Happy blues playing and improvising!
Jeepers Creepers! Now that’s what I call a lesson !!
I did NOT want that to end !!
I’m running to get my keyboard right now !
Thank you for this bloody awesome lesson !

Thanks for listening
With your GORGEOUS accent, I feel like you’re going to offer me a bottle of Grey Poupon along with the course!😆 This video was well put together, engaging, and filled me with motivation to get started. Subscribed. Thank you. 🙏🏽
How about a nice Jazz Scotch, glad the accent is giving you some extra motivation. We also have some wonderful Welsh accents on our team. www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com
cool man
Great, thanks!
Hey Tom. Those little riffs have helped me heaps. Appreciate your approach to interactive tuition. Also doing well on Bennie and the Jets❤
Many thanks, Bennie is a great tune, try adding some of these blues riffs to it!! Interesting combinations!
good straight forward instruction
Excellent! Thank you. I am a classical piano teacher and more than happy for this inspiration. I can follow you. It's fun. Very helpful.
Dear Scharka, thanks for your kind words. Please feel free to check out our website, www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com we work with lots of fantastic classical teachers in giving them some extra tools for their students. Classical piano is still such an important foundation for everything that follows.
This is just what this novice needed, only watched the first couple of minutes to get something to pound on for a couple of weeks. Taking me that long to start getting some right-left hand independence. THANKS!!
This tutorial is quite useful for putting hands together! czcams.com/video/rDOUVb629Bg/video.html
Simply well put, and easy to understand. Your little intro blew me away.
I want so much to learn boogie woogie and have been watching many videos. This video is the best I've seen on improvising with the right hand. Thank you.
thats amazing mate im 17 and i like playig piano this video was amazing for me that was great thanks and love from Turkey
So glad that I've found this video, I've only ever played classical music and scales (which is not a bad thing of course) but I wanted to learn some blues. I found the syncopation hard after being used to classical time sigs. I tried to have a look at What d'I Say by Ray Charles, and I can honestly say that I found a Bach Prelude and Fugue easier to play! I'm armed with the super ideas on here, now I'm off to try them out. Thank you so much.
Many thanks for watching Pam! Happy playing and discovering new things in music!!!
😂you so good!!!! thank you !!!
Many thanks Boris

Fair play for a brilliant explanation to making great sounds on the piano. You make it look so easy but that’s always the paradox 😊 Cheers
Vc é abençoado com tanto talento!
This is so cool. Sounds great! Great lesson!
Amazing. Your idea is really good. All the little improvisations come together in great music
Wow, I'm a still simpleton working my way up. This is so helpful, thanks a ton!!
Thank you John! Glad it is helpful!
Great advice .. your the best.
The best I'd seen and I'm going to try tomorrow. Thanks so much... love your smile approach cos it's really teaching me how to play.
I Love the Blues in General ( and the Ney Orleans Style Specialist) but I am still a bloody beginner and thankful for every help. Thanks a lot!
Thank you Walter! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tutorial! I think I’ve mastered the points you went over but I’d love to know how you ended it - or some good ways to end the song.
Beautifully done and explained. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful! Your passion not only shows in your performance but also in your body language. You have earned a subscriber! I would like to ask what the chord progression was at the very end of the video and the arpeggio. Sounded like it goes down a half step, then resolves. Then nice arpeggio up! Again, thanks very much!
This is a super tutorial; I always wondered -- seriously -- 'What is this mixolidian thing?' -- and know I know. Thanks! Okay, you ask below for our favorites for improvising a 12-bar blues? I am self-taught and do not know the right words, but I'll try: a Jimmy Reed style walking bass for the L hand 1+5, 1+6, 1+flatted 7, 1+6 -- tapping each twice -- played like boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom, boom-boom. The cross-over of the index finger to hit the flatted 7 is fun; it makes me feel like I know what I'm doing, ha ha ha! Anything -- just fooling around with a vague melody combined with scales in the right hand or chords with blue notes -- it all works with whatever the thing I just described should be called. One of my favorite little noodles is in your video, the triple thing which would be like E flat slide the finger to E then G in key of C. This one also I love; played fast, it sounds so cool with all kinds of stuff. Thanks again for the video.
Yes, once you think of modes in notes and flattened and sharpened notes rather than just in big scary Greek words, it all comes to life! I hope you continue to enjoy your musical journey.
This is what I am looking for... Thank you
Thank you Danilo! Please feel free to check out other tutorials on our channel!

best best best ,,,I can actually understand this..breath of fresh air
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!
@@contemporaryschoolofpiano happy to subscribe...i don't know why i seem to have to always have struggled with piano but I'm trying.... Weird...Some self defeating psychological screw up for sure... as i feel embarrassed somehow to play and secretly dread the thought of anyone being able to hear it...... I'm trying get over that useless paranoia
Finally I found what I wanted
Great to hear that Larisa!
In the very last when both hands move up the board, are you playing arpegios?
Very interesting. This is in G so if I take that a 1 (like in the Nashville number system) and assign the other notes to their respective position on the scale then I can transpose these to different keys right?
How did you record the piano? Looks like a Yamaha G3. I've never heard a Yamaha sound so good.
really liked the video mate, i have a major problem. got my left hand doing what it should be as soon as i bring in my right hand for a bit of improvisation my left goes with it! i cant stop it haha.
Any tips or videos this newbie would be grateful.
thanks
Yes, we have a video on this challenging subject alone! czcams.com/video/rDOUVb629Bg/video.html
