Build a real blues and boogie-woogie vocabulary—from your first driving bass line to advanced harmony, walking bass, comping and improvisation—with the complete PBP library downloaded to your computer.
This is the actual downloadable Play Blues Piano collection: 85 standard MP4 lessons totaling 16 hours and 21 minutes, organized into 20 folders. You also receive 24 PDF files placed with the relevant lessons, including seven distinct sheet-music documents and 61 pages of unique notation and exercises.
Save two Windows-friendly ZIP packages locally and extract them with the built-in ZIP tools on Mac or Windows.
Play the MP4 lessons in order, stop and practice at the piano, then open or print the matching PDF music as needed.
Once saved, the files remain on your computer for ongoing study—without a membership, subscription or recurring fee.
PBP develops the ingredients that make blues piano sound convincing, then shows you how to combine and vary them. The progression moves from groove and coordination into walking bass, harmonic color, fills and original improvisation.
Develop rock, shuffle and boogie feels with independent bass lines, right-hand riffs, comping rhythms and two-handed coordination.
Use shell and rootless voicings, alternate changes, altered extensions, tritone substitutions, ii–V–I movement and descending harmony.
Generate improvisation ideas, displace the beat, reshape blues scales and connect licks into musical phrases that sound like your own.
Learn core left-hand patterns, right-hand riffs, comping, hand variations, blues-scale ideas, intros and endings.
Work with straight and swung bass lines, four riff ideas and the coordination required to layer them together.
Develop the main lick and intro, practice for speed, add a second-chorus idea, play fast triplet lines and finish with multiple endings.
Blues chord riffs, rock and shuffle feels, turnarounds, dominant-seventh theory, left-hand bass lines, two-handed grooves, right-hand rhythm riffs and comping practice.
Play a blues melody with shell voicings or bass lines, create an intro and classic ending, build rootless voicings, then progress through five walking-bass exercises.
Explore alternate blues changes, altered extensions, tritone substitutions, bass-player licks, chord substitutions, a must-have blues lick, standard endings and a descending-harmony trick.
Turn scale material into original ideas, displace the beat, assemble a solo, learn concerted comping, fill space three ways and take the harmony outside.
The included notation is more than a reference sheet. It captures the building blocks used throughout the lessons so you can slow down, analyze the notes and carry the ideas back to the keyboard.
PBP is designed for players who know that convincing blues piano is more than a scale. It gives you the bass motion, rhythmic feel, chord vocabulary, fills, endings and improvisational tools needed to build a complete performance one practical layer at a time.
No subscription and no membership required. Download the complete PBP package during your access window, store it on your computer and keep using the saved lessons and music.
Your purchase is a one-time license to download and use the included files. We guarantee access to the download links for one year from purchase. After that year, we cannot guarantee the files will remain available for another download.
Please download both ZIP packages during your first year and keep your own backup. Once downloaded, the MP4 and PDF files are yours to keep and use on compatible Mac and Windows computers. You will need approximately 2.3 GB of download space, additional room to extract the files, a ZIP opener, a video player and a PDF reader.
Hear the progression from a driving boogie foundation to sophisticated blues harmony and original improvisation ideas.
