An old chestnut of a Blues riff that goes back at least as far as Huey Piano Smith and the Clowns, probably much older than that. Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY plays this so it should be a regular part of any Blues or Jazz pianists lexicon. It's a great filler for in between vocals or for use in turnarounds.

Demonstration of a very handy blues/jazz riff that can be used through the whole progression if you want! Kept the playing kind of slow and clunky so someone can see what I am doing and imitate it.

Just recently purchased a Hammond Suzuki SK1. An amazing piece of equipment. As someone who owned and played both an M3 and a B3 I can honestly say I can't tell the difference. My band mates are ecstatic-that real B3 sound with all the growl and grind really adds something to the overall sound of any band. My little Korg X50, as good as it was for Hammond sounds, is no match for this thing. I would highly recommend this board. Buy it before anything else because it is also loaded with a tone of great acoustic and electric piano, clav, and string sounds. It is not only an organ, it's an excellent stage piano too. Pricey-but worth every penny. Proves the old adage: "you get what you pay for".

A handy turnaround for bar 11 and 12 of a blues or anything really-for all you keyboard players out there-wrote it out in all 12 keys for a student and figured I'd just share it along with a couple of blues riffs in all 12 keys with drone notes, Ignore the first one-its upside down!
