Keyboard Corner Gettin' Blusey Welcome to the latest edition of Keyboard Corner. Here are some ideas to add some bluesey flavor to your playing.
Blues licks can be overdone.
However, when applied sparingly, they can add a nice color to your palette. A blue note is a note that is played lightly as a passing note just a fraction of a second before a primary note. The first blue note is the minor third resolving either up to the major third or down to the second. Here are the blue notes applied to the G7 chord. While this is a great point of departure, you will find that most blues pianists don't really limit themselves to this scale.
