   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.
