Basic Blues For Piano Exercise 24
Exercise 24 carries over the same bassline from exercise 23 and introduces two new ending phrases. The lesson contains a few measures where right hand key gracing is utilized. It also contains hops where the right hand will have to make a hop down in order to perform inverted chord combinations.
Ending number has a chord combination that really stretches the right hand. Work must be done to overcome this challenge.
This piece is technical, challenging, and fun. -
Basic Blues For Piano Exercise 23
Exercise 23 involves the same 7th and 9th chord progressions as exercise 22, but it also introduces an octave up jump after playing the first series of chords (similar to a call and response technique). The exercise also retains the same bassline as exercise 18 but introduce an altered ending in measure 12. The hardest part of this exercise is mastering the octave jumps. Lots of practice should allow the building of this skill.

Basic Blues For Piano Exercise 19
Exercise 19 introduces a new fingering pattern for the right hand using fingers 2 through 5. It couples the fingers 2 and 4 and fingers 3 and 5. When I originally worked through this, I had no problem using fingers 2 and 4, however, fingers 3 and 5 were challenging. After repeating the exercise, my problems with went away. Measure 8 is most challenging because it really works the relation between the middle finger and the pinky.
