i am learning my self rock and blues piano any hints how to be the best?

Answer 1

I am doing the same thing myself. I found a really nice course on line called pianoforall. The instructor is Robin Hall (from the UK) and the course is great. It is $80 US but that includes 10 e-books and 200 video clips. His method is clear and reproducible and it is really helping me. Obviously you must practice assiduously and regularly (as stated by those numerous musicians who all practice so much they think the earth has allotted them 25 hours each revolution). But don't forget to listen to blues day and night and see as many live performers as you can.
Learn the blues scales in several keys, and work hard to develop a steady left hand which will be the foundation of your groove. Use a metronome! Be sure to spend time practicing, and time playing. They are not the same thing. Even in a "loose" medium like blues and jazz, good technique goes a long way. For that, you just have to put in the hours.
Good luck.
P.S. Check out the site I gave you. Robin has some free video lesson samples which you will enjoy. He has a nice teaching style.

Answer 7

Yup, practice. If your goal is to be the best, you'll never become even mediocre. And you should "learn yourself" that English speakers "teach themselves" how to do things.
