Playing blues piano in E, A and D

In this tutorial I take a look at how to play piano blues in keys other than C - and, in particular, in E, A, and D. Many piano and keyboard players are a bit scared of these keys, because they have a reputation for being difficult since they all have quite a few sharps. In fact, as we’ll see, playing blues piano in one of these keys can actually be easier than playing in C, as the relevant blues scales can fall under your fingers more easily and use fewer black notes.
