Discovered I now can combine LH and RH patterns and it starts to sound bluesy, specially when I take my time.

Replying to “what notes are you p…”

I ended up changing the order of some of the notes
17:12:06 From Tara to Everyone:
Loved it, but changing chords makes the hand coordination harder again. A good challenge.
17:12:32 From Mona Seering to Everyone:
I mixes it with our original blues pattern back and forth, with bass octave stride downwards, slow so it was so grooveable!
17:13:59 From DEBRA S to Everyone:
Adding the blues pattern in the blues structure – DDDD GG DD AA GG DD is where I go that creates a nice groove

I’ve taken a lot of classes before, and they teach you the fundamentals but don’t really go into practicing them with you. The way you taught the basics and then taught a handful of simple riffs to use was very helpful to get started.
