I encourage you to start the blues run as high on the piano as you want, and donвЂ™t be afraid to play it several octaves!ДЄlso, the runs from this lesson work over all 3 chords of the 12-bar blues, so you donвЂ™tВ need to adjust the run to match the chord. Once you have this down, the run shouldnвЂ™t be a problem. Many students struggle with the timing on this run and this is the exact problem spot. What is extremely important about this run is that the third note of the sixteenth-note triplet lines up with the 2nd 8th note in the left hand blues shuffle. If you want your runs to have this particular sound, itвЂ™s essential to use turns in your run (there are actually 3 separate turns I use in my run вЂ“ you can learn them here). This gives the run a lighter, more energetic sound. IsnвЂ™t that cool? As you can see, were have this very fast grouping of 3 sixteenth-note triplets at the beginning of the run.

Having a run that ends where it starts down the octave is a very important characteristic of runs because it allows you easily execute your run regardless of what chord you are on. What this means is that when you are at the end of the run, you are down one octave and you are in a good position to repeat the crunch chord on beat one of the measure.

Now, what makes this run very effective is that it ends where it starts down one octave. Then we come down the rest of the C Blues Scale (if you donвЂ™t know your C blues scale, you can learn in our 10-Lesson Blues Challenge).
