A Beginner's Guide to Improvisation

David Cohen continues his expert instruction in blues piano, taking you beyond the beginner's level and firmly into intermediate territory. Again, the heart and soul of this lesson is in your ability to improvise, and David gives you all the tools you'll need to make up your own solos, completely by ear.

Starting his lesson with various kinds of 'slow blues', the emotional and dramatic form that is the basis for so many great songs, David demonstrates variations in the basic chord progression as well as an array of bass lines, chord voicings, turnarounds and familiar-sounding riffs.

You'll then get the 'New Orleans Rumba', with its infectious rhythms and funk-based sounds made famous by Professor Longhair, Dr. John and many other Crescent City Players.
