This is a fun little two bar line that just uses the major 6th blues scale and some grace note slides. Pay attention to how the slides effect the texture of the blues scale. They add tons of flavor to the regularly mundane blues scale that everyone gets sick of. This is how we begin to spice things up!

Most jazz pianists aren’t stuck because they’re lazy — they’re stuck because they don’t have a path.
The Jazz Piano Roadmap shows you exactly what to practice and in what order.
The Proficient Jazz Pianist is my complete method for building real jazz piano skills — comping, solo piano, and improvisation — without guessing what to practice next.
Jazz Piano School was created by Brenden Lowe to help pianists stop guessing what to practice and start making real progress at the piano.
Everything here is built around a clear path for the skills that matter most:
comping, solo piano, and improvisation.
The starting point is The Proficient Jazz Pianist — the core step-by-step system that lays the foundation for confident playing.
From there, students can continue into the Jazz Piano School Membership, which builds on that foundation with live learning, deeper study, and community support.
The Jazz Piano Roadmap shows you how jazz pianists actually progress — with a clear, goal-based path for comping, solo piano, and improvisation.
If jazz piano has ever felt scattered or overwhelming, this will finally make it easy.
