Thank you Henri.... This is public service. You're a brilliant musician. 🙏

You are the best teacher for Boogie Woogie on KZfaq, Thank you for your knowledge With us,so generous of you

I've seen videos of this dude rockin' a train station - with boogie - and it was fabulous! Henri - with your voice and your cool, understated manner of speaking you should have been in the movies! You would have made a great 007! Oh yeah, thanks for the lesson!

In one word; Goosebumps. Started playing last Saturday, that left hand isn't the issue, but keeping my brain from melting down using the right hand is where I need to practice a lot, but having a lot of fun doing so. Will keep going until I have mastered what you have shared with us here. Thanks again, and you've got yourself another sub!

The best piano lesson I have ever seen on KZfaq

Absolutely brilliant, mate...wow!...hands down the best explanation on KZfaq. Been following you for years and absolutely loving your playing...all the best, Henri 🎹 🙏 ❤️

Sir, you have been really generous with your hard-won knowledge and art. You have been a great antidote for the lockdown blues. I'm actually beginning to be able to play some of what you teach in your lessons... As a mid-beginner level, I gravitated early to boogie woogie. The music is upbeat and I find it the best finger independence training because it goes beyond simplistic, repetitive scales. Thank you for your great vids. I'll do my best to see you around the NYC area when you get back up here.

Have been watching your videos for awhile now, and really, really love you. I can't play anything but, I can appreciate the heck of anyone else who can. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment. ‼️‼️

Owesome! You are the best teacher of the beginner. Thank you so much.

Only 246,000 subscribers! You should be have 3 more 000's at the end of that number. I love your direct teaching approach, especially for us self-taught, non-classical types folks who just want to skip much of the theory and focus on the rhythm, chords and riffs you do on that piano. Unfortunately, I just subscribed now, which is a good thing but also not such a good thing cause I missed your first 10 years on YT. On another note, my Dad was a Seabee (Construction Battalion 16) and served in the pacific in WWII. In the diary he kept throughout the war, he mentions how he would sneak away from the battalion, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes when the Japanese were about to bomb the islands he was on and most of his rec time, he would spend practicing the piano and entertaining whomever was around at the time. He was self-taught also and played just about all of his songs in C major. The rhythms and melodies you play here are very similar to what he played back in the 40's when he was 18 and then throughout the rest of his life. He spent his final years in an assisted living facility, living with the terrible disease of dementia but still played often in the common area, entertaining the folks during lunch and dinner times, and consisted mostly women! It was wild how they would gather around the piano sing songs they all knew from that era. On on a final note, he taught me a few boogie-woogie chords and right hand melodies that I learned but never mastered. Now with you in the picture, I'll be getting back on that horse and see if I can ace at least one of your R&R pieces. Great stuff Mr. Herbert!

Henry, I'm just getting to the point where I can finally do some of that.That was Fantastic! My God I'll be practicing for months. Thank You very much Sir. Now one of favorites!

such brilliant timing. one of a kind henry

Man oh man Im coming right over for lessons right now! Simply amazing!

thanks ❤ gracias ❤ danke ❤ merci ❤ What a TUTORIAL. Stunning. I learn so much listening, writing down and playing the awesome stuff you teach. Now I need to put it into the REAL thing. Practising slowly, very slowly is the KEY. BEST WISHES Mr. HENRI HERBERT & GRATEFUL RESPECTFUL THANKS

Really brilliant, Henri. A real concentrate of precious advice. thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Kindest regards too to your esteemed Mother. Roland (from Belgium).

This is a great help, and I don't play keyboards. You have wicked solid timing/rhythm.

your tutorials already improved by a huge mile!!!

Henri, I saw one of your comments on a band of brothers video, I see your a fan of the show too! Love the boogie, keep up the videos!!

man! loved this lesson. Really nail that Jerry lee Major and minor vibe. Love it! Thank you!

Very clear, helpful, and fun!

man! nailing those JLL riffs. so spot on! well done man. ignore all the haters.

ahoy, Mate...I'm really interested in your methods ! I've a massed many thousands of good practicing hours from around this ol world. 50 or so different countries, and I rarely went without finding a piano inside some hotel. For whatever reason, you've done real well in placing your words plainly, without distracting my attention ! So often I've found tutorials drowned out by loud squeaky words! Thank you, very much !!

Best Boogie Woogie player alive😊

Great tuition. Clear and concise.

Excellent and thank you. Best wishes from Scotland

Thank you for your music and lessons!!

I still don’t understand why more people don’t pay attention to Henri

Thank you!!!

thanks henri

Thanks HH. Another great lesson with fantastic content, great explanation and pacing. You make it look easy to teach and break down piano parts but as someone who has seen many people on youtube teaching, I can testify that for some reason many pianists have no idea how to explain or break down what they are doing. I guess because it is actually difficult to transfer knowledge from your own brain to other peoples. (One English boogie woogie guy on YT who shall remain nameless posts 'lessons' which are basically just him playing one riff really fast and then just jamming to himself at top speed using every other riff he knows for the rest of the video. EVERY SINGLE LESSON!! Its basically just him trying to show how well he plays for as much time as he can in every video. C*nt!)

This is great tuition and get-on-practising stuff thank you . Best teachers inspire and you certainly do , thank you

At last, a great heavy handed attitude to JLL playing. Two fingers on the G definitely. Try a fist on a C, D and Eb. I call it the JLL punch, you have to turn the wrist a little. Rock and Roll piano is about attitude and flamboyance and your hands capture that. Thanks for these clips.

Thank you for lesson piano...

God-bless you my brother!!!

God. Love you dude love your work.

This is brilliant.

Thank you Master!

Amazing, many thanks!

Grazie mille! Lezione super preziosa

Great tutorial

Wow this is epic thank u very much

Amazing stuff, Henri! And yes, black notes matter!

Dude, you are awesome 👌

........... GRANDE HERBERT !!!! LIKE !!!!

Merci

Thanks, even 2 years later :) i'll work at it when I buy my piano

best I have seen

Wow ,thanks

Love the ending lol!

Absolutely awesome!!! I’m blown away at how you explain it so well so we can understand. I take my hat off to you brother. Do you have courses we can enrol on to learn these rifts n stuff?

Please teach as much blues piano and jazzy tunes coming my way…also some slow blues improvising with just bass chords👍🎶🎹

Començar el diumenge havent trobat aquesta meravella!! Brutal!!

One of the most important differences between early boogie and RnR is the change in feel. That Boogie Stuff is quite swingy and really ternary. The RnR Stuff is often more binary feeling, but NOT 100%. It has a little little swing feel. And to play authentic RnR you need to master that feeling i think :) I notice the lack of it a lot, when I hear regular pianists attempting RnR piano.

cool

Love your videos ! Where can I find that run that starts around minute 25 in this video …. A slower version… so I can practice it 😮 Thank you for your lessons!

❤❤❤ great

Thankyou!

Master

Thanks!

👍👍👍

Am I the only one hearing both Austin Butler and Daniel Craig in this guys voice.

if i had a dime,i would send it

👍👍👍👍👍💯

I’m not a novice player by any means, but I’ve decided I do want to branch out into some rock. I’m learning some basics. The chords/rhythm are easy enough, but I’ve always avoided this style of music because of the tension moving to my wrists almost immediately. How do you address this and keep a fairly accurate driving beat?

Where can I find that run you used in lesson 12

Finally 🙉

Where can l find that run

Handsome!

For an example of Henri playing this in action go to kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6qJmqR6psvUdIk.html from 9 years ago

5:30 'So practice that a lot, at home'. Gives a look which says 'or Ill come to your home and kill you stone dead...' Now THATS what I call a born motivator. I havent been able to sleep since. I just practice it. A Lot.

Mistake, at the end? How could it be? You didn't miss, you just slurred those last two or five..

Toi tes un bon merci merci un jour on prendra un café et on jouera un peu 😂

Best when keynotes or chords are NAMED by LETTERS 🔤🔠🔠🔠 always! Don't rush the steps! ☑️☑️☑️☑️

Great! Thank you!

👍👍👍👍👍💯
