Blues Piano School (with 2 CDs)
Which piano player would not like to be able to play the blues in a cool and casual way on his instrument? This school is the perfect introduction to the fascinating world of the blues piano. It contains everything you need to know to play the blues perfectly.

First of all the necessary basics like blues scales, chords and blues styles are explained in a simple and understandable way. After that, the first exercises and patterns start immediately. Due to the logical structure and the innovative concept, what you learn can be integrated into your own piano playing right from the start. By means of practical exercises and songs, the most important forms such as dominant blues, minor blues and boogie woogie are learned in a playful way. In this way the skills are improved step by step, so that in the end you are able to play every style of the blues convincingly. In addition, a good basis for your own improvisation skills is created. In the songs you will get to know the use of the blues in music styles like rock'n'roll, salsa, funk, hip-hop and many more. A useful chord table with left hand voicings at the end of the book completes the school.

The 2 enclosed CDs contain all exercises and 25 professionally produced songs in two versions each: One with piano as an audio sample and one without for playing along. The author Michael Gundlach himself recorded the piano live. So you can listen to and play back details such as dynamics and phrasing very closely. In many songs there is an extra improvisation part where you can apply and consolidate the newly learned skills. This way you learn in a practical way and the learning success is guaranteed. The book is suitable both for self-study and modern piano lessons.
