Go out for a night-time strut, and feel like you own the world! This easy jazz piano piece was written for late beginner to early intermediate level.

G-Rockin’ Blues kicks the 12-bar blues up a notch with a driving rock beat! Beginners love the energy of this original piece, which teaches pattern and interval recognition in a fun musical way.
The 12-bar blues chord progression is used in countless many well-loved songs in rock, jazz, and popular culture. Basic Blues is based on this progression and provides the perfect learning format for the discovery of blues for new pianists. A steady walking bass line sets the foundation while chord symbols tell Right Hand what notes they can use to improvise fun swing rhythms. (Simple rhythms are notated in the music for those not inclined to improvise).
* Sample Audio below includes some improvisation.
A spinoff of the classic 12-bar blues, “Tombstone Boos” helps newer pianists swing their way into the Halloween season. A spine-tingling jazzy chord closes out this late beginner number filled with syncopation, swing rhythm, hand movement, and more.
