You can start being creative with the blues scale immediately. Once you know the notes contained in it put it to use. I really do feel strongly about the idea of learning a little bit at a time and obtaining the most enjoyment as possible from that new attained knowledge. Playing with this scale can provide you with hours and hours of fun. Here I thought I would share with you an easy way to go about getting started doing that... There's an old saying: "Little things mean a lot." I love that quote. It's one that certainly means a lot! The piano video below is a short demonstration of this concept with the blues scale. Here's another quote I like: "It's not what you say, but how you say it." I want you to make that idea yours - always keep it in mind when playing the piano. Make it work for you, as the video example shows. Just take two or three notes of the scale to start with... and make music with them! In the example, I'm simply playing a C7 chord in my left hand and, in my right, having a little fun with the ideas I just mentioned. I hope you take it upon yourself to take this further on your own. Choose different note combinations. Change the inflection (what notes you accent). Change the timing as well. You have a musical ear that is growing and developing and will guide you through this process. Just keep it interesting for yourself - it's the only way! I love playing blues on the piano and this is just one little opportunity I've taken to share with you these very basic concepts... There will be more - just stay tuned to the site. One way to do that is to sign up for the free piano lessons below. The library you will be taken to will be constantly updated, so you will be the first to become aware of new lessons as they become available (sometimes daily!). Just as I do, have a ball experimenting and being musical. Get your creative juices flowing as you become more and more inventive with the blues scale!
