    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.

    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.

    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!

  • @eobias

    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?

    • @PianowithNate
      @PianowithNate  Před 4 měsíci +2

      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!

      True! Recording yourself improvising (voice memo on your phone?) can be a huge help!

    • @PianowithNate
      @PianowithNate  Před 2 měsíci +1

      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!
