Piano F.A.Q.s: Blues – Getting Started: Inversions and Adding IV Chord (lesson 2)

This exciting second step is a follow-up to lesson 1. In this lecture, your chords will evolve into a more refined and professional sound by using inversions. Also, the harmonic progression becomes more sophisticated by adding variety to measures two and ten of the twelve-bar pattern. I’ve attached six pdfs with mini-lessons, theory, and worksheets.
