Recommended Fingering for Blues Scale

Recommended Fingering for Blues Scale

Right hand C (1) Eb(2) F(3) Gb(4) G(1) Bb(3) C(4)

For 2 or more octaves use the following fingering:

up = 123413 123413 123413

down = 431432 131432 131432

These three piano styles (rock, blues, and boogies) have a few common characteristics. We will cover one feature this time.

They all use the blues scale.

What exactly is the blues scale?

We all know there are 12 major and 12 minor scales. The way to form them is by using the formula:

whole whole half whole whole whole half steps

The blues scale is different from the traditional scale.

Learn Jesus Loves Me: Chris Tomlin

Chris Tomlin: Jesus Loves Me l LadyDpiano

I absolutely love this song! It's amazing that a song can be so simple in melody and words... and yet so powerful to the listener's heart, mind, and soul. Now, I'm not talking about the hymn that so many of us sang as a child (that's a beautiful one, too) but the song that was written around 2014. It's another popular tune so easy to play. I hope you enjoy!
