Swinging Rock Bass lines for Piano - The BURNING HOT Fast Ones!!
Here are the really flashy piano bass lines that will give the youngsters the challenge they’ve been looking for! These will work on a lot of swinging rock songs like “Great Balls of Fire” - Jerry Lee Lewis, “Jail House Rock” - Elvis, “Old time Rock & Roll” - Bob Seger and especially any swing dancing tune by bands like Brian Setzer Orchestra or the Cherry Poppin Daddies! The piano can really be a high energy exciting instrument with these patterns! Just watch any Jerry Lee Lewis video!
POST A VICTORY COMMENT IF YOU WERE ABLE TO DO PIANO EXAMPLE #5!!
Sheet Music Examples: Click on any of the examples to make them bigger!
Example 4: This example outlines a C7 chord, notice the Bb. The notes are C, E, G, A, Bb, A, G, E. Fingering: Left hand: Pinky plays C, Index plays G, Thumb plays A, Index crosses over to play Bb.
Example 5: This example sounds really fancy and is a little bit tricky to pull off. Its just like example 4 but now we’ve added a C in between each note. The notes are C, C, E, C, G, C, A, C, Bb, C, A, C, G, C, E, C.
I had fun making this one!
Post a comment if you were able to do example 5!
Hello,
cool lesson, example 5 is good exercise
for the ring finger on the left hand,
which doesn’t get used much.
BTW, I added a link to your site on my site
listed above.
Thanks for the lessons.
