Takes beginning and intermediate pianists beyond the basics and into the foot-stomping syncopations of real blues style. The emphasis is on solid technique and improvisational ideas for both slow blues and up-tempo boogie-woogie. David starts with the driving bass pattern that gives boogie woogie its groove, then adds chords, riffs, bass lines, turnarounds and arpeggios. He explores slow blues using progressions that will expand your harmonic sense and allow you to improvise easily. You'll learn "Pinetop's Boogie" and "Blues for a Summer's Dream," plus variations on "Slow Blues in E." Includes either a booklet or PDF file on the disc. 80 min.
