A nice medium swing blues in F is a terrific starting point for all kinds of improvisation. For this tutorial I have decided to use my acoustic piano (sorry no Midi or PDF transcription files). I am using the acoustic piano because the blues really has to be felt when played and for me the connection between an acoustic piano and the performer vs a digital piano and the performer = no contest.

I also want to introduce you to a great place to obtain high quality backing tracks. Yes, I know you can get backing tracks on my website (http://www.Lot2Learn.com) but there is plenty of room in this business for all of us and I just feel it is part of my duty to support people who want to further jazz education and the appreciation of this great art form. The backing track I used in this video is from www.playjazznow.com and they really have a fine set of products on their web site - check them out.

Some Tech Notes:
Video recorded with a Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 mounted on a boom stand over my head.
Audio recorded with a Zoom H4N
Audio from piano mixed with backing track in Adobe Audition.
Video titling and rendering done in Camtasia Studio.

As always, thanks for your support.
