Professor Longhair - Tipitina Piano Lesson

Visit for the piano tutorial of “Tipitina“ by Professor Longhair. The lesson includes a groove chart that teaches how to play the song in a rock band, a rock theory and dexterity exercise related to the song, an improvisation exercise as well as the complete piano arrangement. For the improvisations and exercises, we focus on a different element of rock, for example a riff, a rhythm, a chord progression, etc. All lessons include instructional web videos with overhead views ot the keyboard as well as the written notation. “Tipitina” is a simple 8-bar blues progression, but the genius is in the syncopated melody line over a left hand groove, which defines the New Orleans style, and can be found in every form of rock. You just can’t play rock piano without learning this song. founded by Chuck Leavell, legendary keyboardist for The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and The Allman Brothers.
