My sofa is standing uphill. Thats what a blues musicians place should look like.

I've been following this series since video 1 and it's a great learning experience. Bought the download and they are a perfect match with the video's. Since I can't go to Berlin for lessons, this system works for me. Thank you Christian! I'm learning the blues.

Want to learn Blues ? Right here, right now. Just order music sheet(s), follow video and practice... eat, drink and practice. Don't forget to sleep. Tomorrow will be a beautiful Blues day. Thanks Christian. Dee

...but this is not a face covering Christian, I always look like this! No wonder I got the blues, but life is uphill for most of us, so we look for the bits we like best and get lost in music. I get lost more than most, but I love these tutorials keepin' me brain working. Thanks a big bunch Christian.

Best teacher, thank you for everything, best regards from Würzburg

I deeply appreciate it your efforts here Christian, you have the best blues lesson on youtube by far. Greetings from Argentina. Agustín

Very important to be careful at the end of the licks. As I said on video 3, the sheet music Christian makes available on his website helps enormously I developed a bad habit at the end of licks skipping one of the C-G and C-A "bounces" in the left hand and I could not work it out in my mind. I bought the sheet music for a few euros and I spent about two hours VERY slowly going through this again and again and again until I got it !!! :). It is time well spent - you have all your life to learn this so it is important to get it right. Sometimes when it does not "click" it is best going away from the piano and coming back a day later and, somehow, your brain figures it out! Thanks again Christian for all your hard work on this series, you are a genius!

This time I've download the sheetmusic and its so helpful for the lessons . thanks, I like your way of teaching

Great Christian..Fuchs....great..i like This....

You got me addicted to practicing your material non 🛑 stop??😇🎵🎶🎹🙏☮️

super 👌 lesson

Wolfgang Römer Christian, on your question to Herman Reinhardt: I worked “Blues Piano for Beginners” 1 to 3 and think it's a big jumb but not too big. The advantage of No. 4 is that you can feel the effort is worth it. That motivates (I'm 84 years old) Are there notes for exactly No. 4?

GREAT LESSON! THANKS CHRISTIAN

1:59 figure 1 3:43 figure 2 6:13 figure 3 8:57 the "thing" with F7 10:53 some fun 15:28 transpose licks to F and G

Greatly explained again Christian. I'm not that far yet but I totally get it.

老师，您最后弹的是什么曲子呢?太好听了。

Hi Christian I find your videos and sheet music extremely well done and useful. I have a small question : in the videos, the notation of the keys seems to start from 0 (C0, D0, etc...), so is the center C the C3 or C4 ? I am just learning to read sheet music, so it makes a difference for me ...

Hi Christian, thanks for the video! I have a question for you, if you have time. When I play a 12 bar blues form especially in boogie woogie I sometimes lose count in which bar I am, do you have tips for that?

Nice. I like your bluesy feel. I have a question about finger position when playing chords. I'm a piano begginer and I've just learned to play chords with 1, 3, 5 fingers but you use 1, 2, 3 fingers. As I'm just starting to learn it was easy for me to switch to 1, 2, 3 finger positions. But I have a question: should I use that position only when playing blues and use 1 3 5 in other styles? Should I use 1 2 3 in other styles? I guess 1 3 5 is used for some reason so it's not ok to abort it? If I use 123 in blues and 135 elsewhere will that be to much confusion for my fingers? I'm little confused now how should I study piano so I won't have problems later.

Dear Christian, I have a question that won't let me sleep. The fun element I try to play has different rhythms in the right and left hand that I seem not be able to master at this point, it takes me a lot of time to practice (more than other things we've learned). How to approach it? Either my left hand loses the 12 bar blues swinging motion or my right hand begins to play the swinging notes. I can hear and see your right hand is doing a much more choppy motion. What should I do?

Hello Christian, I just purchased all of the books you have available on your website. Where is the notation for the licks you are showng in this video and the previous three for beginners.

Awesome channel. (I just recently found it). Does any of your 'learning material' sheets cover what you have taught in this series ? Oh - and what is the song playing in the background of the intro ?

Hi Christian, can you help can you tell me where is the turnaround lesson please?

👍👍👍🌹
