Key=Bbm. Follow-along, insight-broadening video lesson.

Some keys can be quite challenging.

The key of Bbm, I can imagine, is one of such caliber for many of you.

Here's a quick lesson in which we'll be practicing, exploring and truly getting to know this key (scale) together.

As I've mentioned many times before, when playing Pop-Piano, it's very important to know every stone in every corner of the 'playing-ground' you're in.

The key in which the harmony is flowing at a specific moment in musical timeย IS your playing-ground. It's notes your cornerstones.
