Basic lessons with a bonus
Three of the four lessons of this workshop are very basic. I didn't expect them at this point when following the learning track of "blues piano 1". Anyway, I switched to an eighth shuffle in the left hand and back to the "four on the floor" groove while repeating my chorusses. So, the blues riff turned out to be quite helpful for stabilizing rhythm independance of both hands before starting with improv lines.
