  1. Loved the podcast on Blues. I am a beginner having started piano less the a year. I have gone through videos and courses and have learned the 12 bar blues form pretty well, but I must say this podcast not only discussed the form, but actually taught you HOW TO USE IT. Really great information. Thank you Brendan!
