Adding Accompaniment to the Blues Scale

So now we've learned how to play the blues scale in more interesting ways.

Improvising with Accompaniment

Let's add our own accompaniment.

• Like before, we had the left hand playing the chords.
• The next step is to improvise, using the left hand as an accompaniment.

Like so.

What we've done there is take the left hand playing the root notes of the scale that we're using for the blues. In the right hand, we're using the blues scale to improvise and explore creative ways of playing the scale.
