Yeah thank you! Enjoy Boogie and keep playing this great music! ;-)

@@InternationalBoogieNights natürlich!👍Die Boogie nicht von euch ist sowieso das beste was man sich geben kann. Wenn ich ein bisschen älter werde dann komm ich auf jeden Fall Mal auf ein Konzert Viele Grüße 😀

Freut mich Regula! Genau, jetzt ist der richtige Zeitpunkt! Immer dran bleiben!

Enjoy ;-)

OK

Hi Paul. :-) Thank's! Yes, for this tutorial I used a GoPro. But for the new tutorials I use the Canon EOS M50 now. The GoPro is not ideal for this I think.

@@InternationalBoogieNights That makes so much sense, and keep em' coming:) The worldwide Boogie Woogie community/fans thank you! I'm here in the US and can't get over how excited I am finding the quality resources you all are putting out from Europe!!

​@@paulsp1ano Thank you so much! In 2.5 hours there is a live-stream concert here with a young talent...maybe you are here? :-)

@@InternationalBoogieNights Awesome live-stream! I loved that you brought on the young player:)

Hi William. Thanks for your message. Here are the chords I use in this video: C7-chord in the 3rd inversion. => G, Bb, C, E F7-chord with the 9th (G) => G, A, C and Eb G7-chord => F, B, D My other video might be also interesting for you about chords:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMxoY5uS3ZnahHk.html Your second question I'm not sure if I understand you. Since 6:13 the video is already finish. Maybe you can send me the right time code then I can have a loot what you mean. OK?

@@InternationalBoogieNights Chris, Sorry about the time code screw up. The part where you change the pattern is at 5:38. It's a lower sounding chord, "G" perhaps?

@@williampaxton871 Hi William. Yes right, in this part I'm going to the lower G. This is also possible. Just one octave lower...

Ah, got it! Chris, believe it or not I seem to be slowly getting this. I'm adding it to my practice session plus will check out your chords lesson again. Thank you very much for your continued guidance. William

Thanks! :-) Start very slow with a metronome. For example with 100 bpm, next day with 110 bpm etc. But don't rise the tempo if you don't feel comfortable with the "slower" tempo! Try it!

@@InternationalBoogieNights Thanks again. That's what I'm doing already. Probably need to be more patient.

@@devmich99 relax! :-)

@@LasseBoogieJensen Hehe, yeah that's what I'm trying :-)

One strategy I use that I wish I knew about years ago is to practice the left hand pattern with all notes extremely staccato(light/as short of a sound as possible for each note). It won't sound natural, but along with the metronome and slower tempo you're already doing, it gets the clarity/power going in the fingers. Then I go back and play it "regular" with the "boogie woogie" groove sound. I don't know if that made any sense lol, but it has helped me immensely.

Hallo Klaus. Danke für dein Feedback. Bald kommen auch Videos für die rechte Hand - versprochen ;-)

Hallo Chris , Super! Vielen Dank für die tolle Anleitung, auf meinem Keyboard nicht einfach umzusetzen. Ich versuche auch, die Chords links mit Boogie Style zu spielen und rechts das was du links spielst. Du machst das einfach perfekt! Liebe Grüße Gila

Hi Bill. Thanks for your message. I would say the finger hast to be slightly bent yes. But it depends on your hands/fingers. It has to feel comfortable and natural for you. I know many boogie piano players and everybody is playing this pattern a little bit different. As you can see on my video, my fingers are bent a bit. I just tried to define how much I bend the fingers. I would explain it like this: stretch your fingers totally and then relax...this is the natural and ergonomically correct position...in this position you should play. I hope this helps... Kind regards, Chris

Chris, No wonder you are so good. That is exactly what I needed. I just started working from home in my job so I end my "work" day by practicing along with your videos for an hour. Right now I stink but when I get better and am not totally embarrassed I'll send you a video. Thanks for getting back to me. Bill

Chris, I have been practicing diligently all week and am starting to actually play something that doesn't sound like my cat walking across the keys. However, having never played the piano before I am a little befuddled by exactly how the fingers of my left hand move across the keys. Your friend Jorg Heggemen really stabs at the keys with a lot of elbow action while your style is much more relaxed. It looks to me from the video that you sort of rotate your left palm while moving your fingers, is that correct? I hate to ask but is there any way you can do a video showing your technique for playing these left hand patterns, maybe from a keyboard point of view? As long as I'm learning from the best I want to do this right form the start. This is really fun by the way. Bill

We are working on a new tutorial with chords. Soon it will be published :-)

Yeah danke! :-) Weiterhin viel Spass mit dieser tollen Musik!

Langsam beginnen und immer dran bleiben ;-)
