Chords for 3 Blues Piano Licks to Make You Sound Like a Pro In 1 Hour

Well here you go, C [C] blues, just get this guy going.
_ _ _ _ In your right hand you think C triad.
[F] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] So what I'm doing there, C [F] triad up to an F triad in second [C] inversion, to a C7.
So get that kind of going, automatic pilot here.
_ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _
[F] _ [C] _ And when you go to F, it's the same exact [F] pattern, same fingering, slide from your 2 to your 3.
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ _ G is the same [G] thing, when you get to the G.
_ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _
[F] _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] _ Alright, [Ab] that's the first thing that you want to mess around [B] with.
The second thing [C] is a cool, I'll give you a cool little _ blues lick.
It's based off a C triad.
You start [Cm] on E flat [C] and you slide your middle finger to the E.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ [F] _ [Eb] _ [C] _ _ _
So what I'm doing is, E flat, slide up to E, you're doing a C chord in second inversion. _
_ _ You're crossing [F] over with 3 and 5, very important on the [Eb] fingering.
_ [C] _ _
And you're [Eb] sliding from your _ _ 2nd finger from [E] the E flat to the [C] E.
And you're making a C triad again.
[Eb] So C [C] triad _ _ _ _ [F] to an F [Eb] chord, [C] _ _
sliding to C.
So that sounds like this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [Cm] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _
The way you're going to lock [Bm] that [C] up is, _ _ whenever you go to [Am] the C and A, [F] that's where you hit the A.
_ [A] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] So watch these guys line [C] up, watch. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ [Cm] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, [F] so then when you go to F chord, same exact thing.
I'm going to play it [A] lower so you can see.
[F] Same fingering, now it's on an F chord.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] And then the B flat and a D.
[Fm] _
[F] _ _ And then you're going to your F [Fm] chord, you're going to slide from your [Dm] A flat to your A.
_ [F] Same exact fingering.
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Lock those up. _
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ Alright, so if [G] you put those two [B] together, I know this is a quick mini lesson, [C] but here we go.
[F] _
[C] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now watch when I get to G, same exact [Gm] pattern.
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ Or you can do the same lick. _ _
[Gm] Now you start from your B flat with your third [Em] finger. _
_ And you arpeggiate a G [C] triad in [G] second diverse.
Now you cross [C] over, 3 and 5 on C.
[G] And then [Gm]
[G] slide from your B flat to your B.
Remember _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] how to lock that up.
_ _ _ _ [C] Then, _
[Gm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ you can actually go through the whole [C] thing [F] just [C] _ to practice. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[Bb] _ [F] _ I'd probably play it higher. _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] Alright, and [Ebm] then let's do one more.
_ So, this is easy actually. _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] So all you're doing is you're basing your C [Ebm] triad.
You're doing a C [C] diminished.
[Ebm] C, E flat, F sharp.
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] Whatever chord you're on, _ [C] start with the minor third and the flat fifth.
E flat and F sharp. _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] Fingering 2, [C] 4.
_ 3, 5 to 1.
Go to F.
[F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
And [E] then let me show you this [Am] cool turnaround real [Ab] quick.
That'll give you a way to get back to [C] the top again.
So, _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ it's a G augmented chord. _ _
So [C] I'm going to do _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ [Ab] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] the fingering.
_ [E] 5, 3, [F] _ 1, [Gb] _
[G] 2, 1, octave.
[C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ Or you [C] could go _ [E] _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C]
4.
_ _ [F] _ [Ebm] _ [G] _ _
Let's do that.
That kind of connects to [Ab] this idea.
[C] _
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gb] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
[C] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ _ Now [C] watch.
_ [F] _ _
[Ab] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] [F] Takes you [C] back to the top. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Anyway, I hope that has helped.
I [A] know that's a quick mini lesson.
But I was going to give you about 5 or 6 things.
But I wanted you to kind of mess around with that.
Hopefully that helps.
Hopefully you like it.
And we'll talk soon.
See you [N] man.
