Hey Brother, thanks so much for doing your gift so well, with such an amazing heart! I read your mission statement and I instantly gained the upmost respect for you! I'll be 49 this September 25th, I've been playing by ear with no lessons since I was a kid. I've had to relearn fingerings unnumbered times trying to do even the simplest chords and runs. Was no utube back then, lol. I've been binging as they say on your videos! Thanks so very much for being real and unselfish! God Bless You and your beautiful family!
Why am I be able to play Cm Blues Scale over the Fmaj boogie part?(still in the key of cmaj boogie but the second chord of the boogie). It would sound very dissonant when I drop back to cmaj boogie retaining right hand cmin riffs, left hand cmaj-boowoog. If based on the same logic of Fmaj boowoog left hand + cminor blues scale right hand, what would be the minor blues scale for Gmaj boowoog lefthand + (?minor) right hand? Sorry for my bad English
Hey, haha.. yeah I'm sorry but I don't really understand what you are asking... sorry! Cmin blues scale will sound "good" over all chords in a C blues. C maj blues scale will also sound "good" over all chords in a C blues. However, you must choose the notes to stay on carefully when you change the chords because not all of the notes will sound equally as good to stay on. If you are just running through all of the notes in the scales and not staying on any one of them, then they will all sound okay. Most players will use licks primarily, and use scales only intermittently. Hope this can help!
Hey, Arthur, love your instructionals and have been working through your excellent boogie-woogie book. For this downward run, I'm wondering why you choose to go with the slide fingering on the 3rd finger? If you simply finger the run 3-2-1-3-2-1-3-2-1 all the way on down, it works out perfectly. However, I don't want to burn the wrong fingering into my brain, so why do you choose the more asymmetrical slide fingering? Thanks so much for all you do!
Great question! I actually answered that exact same question on my livestream last week. Check it out starting at minute 5:00. ua-cam.com/video/AqauBdbvyf8/v-deo.html
@@thearthurmigliazza Brilliant, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Keeping that pinky free to do...well, to do whatever I may one day learn to do with it, seems like a good idea. It's very rare to find experienced performers who are also willing to teach, I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and technique. Especially the mundane aspects of daily practice; people need to know that even experienced players still go through the same (often) boring grind of repetition and muscle memory exercises. Please keep the videos coming!
Ok, I’ll be the dumb kid in the room-why the slide? It seems to me that you might find a situation where you want to go down the blues scale from A to the next lower A, and then right back up again to where you started. Seems like using the 4th finger on the Eb would allow the same fingering in both directions. What am I missing?
Yes this fingering is for descending only. To ascend use the 4th finger on Eb. But you will hardly ever hear anyone ascend the scale in a linear fashion because it sounds like you are just playing a scale. I will cover ascending techniques in future videos. Check out lessons 2-4 to build on the descending technique presented here.
I also wondered why from low to high. Your answer is so clarify. Indeed when playing from high to low its just looks like a scale. And now its music 😊 Thanks for sharing your talent. Greetings from Belgium
You're actually making it harder. Just go 3 2 1 all the way down. There's no need to slide the 3 down from the E flat. Now there are times when you would and could use the slide method, but that's a different situation. Just make it easy. starting from the A just go down 3 2 1 all the way down.
Sure! For just playing the descending scale that totally works too! Good call. I'm trying to sneak this sliding technique in there for people to learn at the same time they learn the scale so that it is built into their muscle memory for playing licks later on. If you watch the "mega-shredder" lesson for example this fingering comes into play because it frees up the 5th finger to reach for higher notes at the same time.
I'm not following why you're referring to this as being applicable to various minor and major blues scales. I get that the fingering might not working in certain keys (F#, B natural) but why the distinction between major and minor? The 'blues scale' is by definition a pentatonic minor scale with a flat fifth added, right? You can add color notes in to make it more interesting and fit better (like adding a major third on the I chord when playing in say C as opposed to C minor...but the blues scale is always root, minor third, fourth, flat fifth, fifth, minor seventh. I'm just a novice piano player and getting a lot of helpful info from your vids so not suggesting you don't know your stuff..just want to make sure I apply it correctly. The three fingered blues scale for C major or C minor would be the same, no?
Your confusion is understandable. Look at school of boogie website (or in my book) for lick #7 and #8. I explain the difference between major and minor blues scales. They are same scale but different tonics. Or ask me live on a Sunday office hours stream at 1:30pm EST - Happy to explain again.
Never thought of the slide technique for the scale itself. This is gold, thanks for sharing!:)
Thank you!! Please upload more small lesson videos like this
I agree ! That would be soooo cool
You got it! This was a test run for me to make a short. Plan on doing an entire shredding series as shorts!

I have done this slide for years. Cool to see it on yt
Yup. What Paul said. A gold nugget here. Thanks!!
Beautifully explained 💖🎶🎵
Thanks for sharing!

Sheeeeeeeeeshhhhh
Can you please put a tutorial on how to play blues in b flat by hazel Scott
What about the blue note!
could you please upload a video about how to noodling with blue scales?
U r awesome 😎
This is top
2.8k likes and not a single dislike…that’s rare…
I smiled at the 3 fingers 😀😆😆
Solid
Great! How you play this in the ascending way?
we don't usually riff on an ascending scale, but if I go up the scale I use fingers: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 (or cross to 1 to go up again)
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶I can’t quite you baby, I’ll never let you down🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵
Gràcies !! Subtitulos en español
The part at 0:15 sounds like it could be the beginning of Stromae's song 'formidable' 😁
and left hand going up ?
Nice but why your feet out
I play it using the pointing finger on the D# (instead of the middle finger), and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
0:02 sounds like the part where u win in plants vs zombies🤣
👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍
Why does that sound like the piano part in plants vs zombies 😂

You're actually making it harder. Just go 3 2 1 all the way down. There's no need to slide the 3 down from the E flat. Now there are times when you would and could use the slide method, but that's a different situation. Just make it easy. starting from the A just go down 3 2 1 all the way down.

@@thearthurmigliazza OK, I'll take a look, thanks
Co autor miał na myśli ?
no such thing as blue scale, scale is from classical music
Newer slight it down, not the proper way
