Hi Tripple T,

I toured for a number of years playing blues around the world and I'm the author of a blues piano instructional DVD. Hopefully, I can help you by making some suggestions.

Here are a couple of really simple but effective boogie/blues patterns you can play in your L.H. These would be a good place to start. You can then add R.H. licks and grooves on top of these fundamental L.H. patterns.

I'll assume you know the 12 bar chord progression. Here's what you'll play over the
I chord:

Ex:1 Play in L.H. using quarter notes
4 G A G A (highest note)
4 C C C C (lowest note)

Here's an example of what it will sound like http://www.stevenixonmusic.net/listen.cfm (scroll down to blues keys and listen to "Sunny Day Solo Blues".

I made this solo for my students to learn from.



Once you master that play eighth notes instead. It's a similar concept but creates a totally different rhythmic feel!

Ex: 2 Play in L.H. using eighth notes
4 G G A A G G A A
4 C C C C C C C C

Here's an example of what it will sound like http://www.stevenixonmusic.net/listen.cfm (scroll down to blues keys and listen to "Simple, Soulful, and Solo Chicago blues".


I also made this solo for my students to learn from.


Play the exact same patterns over the IV and V chords. Just transpose the notes accordingly.


Hope this helps you get started!
