¡horale! Verdad. You don't need a lot of note, but you do need the feeling. I am not holding my breath waiting for the millions. I don't want to die. But it 's a nice thought. The 3 million dollar lesson.

Alright.... Thanks for that mate! Cheers to yer good ears!!!

sorry. you'll see a similar bass on the other drifting vids i made. it's a standard boogie blues left hand part, probably the most commonly used pattern. You'll probably find it on other's tutorials. I'll try to put up a short vid in the next days, as you are NOT the first to make the complaint.

i made the vid demonstrating the left hand

You are a joy to me Buford, a blessing to us my son and i aint even lyin." "aww shucks, pa".....

You have good ears. The ability to recognize superstar level left hand lounge lines. Is that even possible? To hear superstar level L hand basdlines in a lounge? These days? Well, I heard Jimmy Smith once play (sitting in with my band on my roland keyboard) in a tiny lounge outside rockford illinois, some very high level basslines. Probably back "in the day", when "lounge music" was everywhere, in the days when live music was in everywhere, before cds and piped in music and DJs, lots of good and bad music was played, in lounges, from Vegas to Milwaukee to NYC and So Central, Los Angeles. One music critic in the 60's, an avant garde snob, called Red Garlands music "cocktail piano": Well, then, I'm glad to be part of Red's genre.

From where, if I may ask, are you writing, Mr. Davaxshincko? Your youtube name sounds like it is originating maybe from further east direction in Europe, beyond German border. But your jazz robot patois sounds very Amerikanski.

No, gobble replaced my tag (etype) with the above in some kind of hack and I just roll with it. I'm a pianist also. I like your style, I've added 'Driftn' to my repertoire and I play it with your special evil, soul scorched acid drooling alien from another planet tempo and phrasing. I also name check you as inspiration to any interested or sober audience member, maybe they'll check out your utube page and say they heard you mentioned in a bar, who knows? @@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out

yessir yessir.. ahm a listenin' an ah hears yuh. loud and clear. i'm a gonna try te do jest that. raht now . specially the cleanin' up of mah pig sty of a room. thank you sir. thank you very very much. sir. straighten up an fly right. that's mah goal. ah aint even lyin thank you sir.

What does your Mother think of all this driftin' ? Shameful!

i play guitar too, so I can tell you why. Because C is a piano key. It's easier to play blues on piano in C or F or G. The fingers fall more naturally onto the pentatonic blues scale notes and the left hand parts also, much easier somehow than in A or E. Guitarists don't like C or D or G much and they bloody hate F. Barre chords (for the rhythm parts) are way too high on the neck in D an C, and in F the barre chord is on the first fret, making it really hard to do the basic stuff unless you have incredibly strong first finger "barre-ing" ability. I can play blues on piano in any key, even C# or F# but it takes time and work, because those (and A and E ) are trickier than C F G. try it . you'll see why in a second. Once you get comfortable you can play in E and A, but never quite as easily as in C. Clapton plays driftin blues in E and A because the open notes, all the open string notes in standard tuning E A D G B E are notes used in those keys...E and A...so guitarists can use the open positions to play the rhythm ( and fills and solo) parts. It's much easier to make blues music in A and E on guitar, so naturally, trained or untrained blues musicians would have used those keys. .E and A are the "easy keys" on the guitar. (and bass)..so... therefore........ If you're intent on playing in a band, with guitar players, yes, you had better learn everything in E and A or you're not going to get the gig!!!!!!!!!! And if you work with female vocalists, you'll learn why it's a chore, They seem always to need or want to sing in "odd", less often used keys, like B or F# or G#

@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out Thank You for your answer! Yes. I'm talking about playing with a rock band of cause)) . I am baseman, but learning a blues piano. And that's why I have this question

thank you sexy poetry. I saw the notification and thought "oh another new sub" (the subs for some reason jumped from 200 or so after 12 years, to over 600 just in the last few months. not gangnam style or Taylor numbers, but gratifying enough for me). Then I saw your jacked and greased beach man photo and smiled the big smile. It's very gratifying and nourishing to know you're still listening after quite a long time, and to get your nods of approval. I've been working on simple sonatinas and technique and I think it's freeing me up some to help me find the notes I want. Really, sincere thanks from deep inside of me. Gotta go. I'm getting all teary eyed....

Correction : over 700! Wowzer!

Thanks for listening

hey, now. Van! now you be stealin ma bestest lines! Peoples has shouted dat out, many de times, when I was layin' down dem deep gospelly sus chords and da peeps was whoopin and hollerin and turnin cartwheels and such. shhooooo-weeeee!!!! I done learnt em from de Rev. Les McCann. May he rest in Peace. Can Ah git an Amen for Brother Les!!? (the above is Tex-Arkana white boy patois, if'n you don't beleeeme je go dere and you'll shonuff see, so don't be getting all Woke and huffy, okay ? relax my wizzles. we is jes havin fun with words here)

Like I alway tell my audience when they clap, you are "obviously s person of the highest standards, art and taste". Yes, it's da really deally, homes. My mother in law, also a person of taste and discretion, gave it to me. Yo, Buford, I's jes a po bluesman. Caint be buyin no spensive fancy rugs on my salaries, now can i? shoooot.

Very nice to hear your appreciation of my music. ¡muchisimas gracias! from Frankfurt, via California.. Say hello to Denia if you are nearby. Tell her I miss her. mi suegra alemangna sold her house there, and we can't go there to stay for free anymore :(

sorry yes the reflection of the light off the shiny keys makes it hard to differentiate. watch the other 2 tutorials for Drifting Blues, and the one i made hipster stormy monday blues tutorial a lot of the information is the same.

Thanks for listening.

You are showing off.

Sorry your uncle and I play sophisticated music that's way over your little head, If you want simple blues music for beginners go find it. "easy piano blues" Hundreds of those on youtube .jesus boy, what's your problem? I'm just sharing, for FREE my insights into jazzy blues piano . Jazzy blues is by nature more sophisticated. than "down home blues" more altered harmonies, "harder to play" . And it takes more educated ears to parse the value of it. If that ain't your thing, squire, there's the door- Don't let it hit you in the arse on the way out. Cheers.

Good lord: what a rude man.@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out

Very Christian. Happy New Year to you too. haha.😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😁😁😃😃🤣🤣

Whatever your problem is, I hope you work it out soon, Mark.@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out

merci !! thanks for your kind words and perceptive judgment!!

well spotted mon ami!!! Ray Charles on a Wurlitzer or Rhodes or Les McCann on ANY keyboard are the deities inhabiting my Olympus of bluesy/jazz, jazzy/ blues music I have listened to, literally , thousands of hours of Les McCann with Lou Rawls "stormy Monday " album. This is what you hear. The gospel and blues coming through my playing, the swing, the feeling. Thank you very much for the encouraging words! Look for more soon!!!

​@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out...thank you ,, You are the Blues !!!

"what"?!! what you mean by "what", Mister Willis B. Astrosmooch? 'splain yoself, space-kisser! make yo self and yo meanings clear.. Writing simply, just, and only the word "what" in this context means less than diddly squat.... less even than the moronic, millennial "wtf". Delineate. Clarify. You got's mo vocabulary than that, one hopes.. Write on, Right on. Right now. Right wing turkey banging pervert politicians .

you can find that on any of 100 blues tutorials. a static, typical boogie style slow blue pattern. It's the same pattern on the "level 2 driftin blues" vid i made. here's the link.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arpkq5aBrpfGaac.htmlsi=X8NI3XbLQ9NePZ-b

the pattern is really basic. It's the same one i use on "drifting blues level 2" here's the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arpkq5aBrpfGaac.htmlsi=X8NI3XbLQ9NePZ-b

it's well to the left , out of the shot. sorry mate. I know i promised to show it at the end, but I am attention deficit manchild, and i forgot. you can get that from the other two "drifting blues" tutorials, or any basic slow boogie woogie blues. low tech equipment, no proper booms, no engineers or camera womyn no editing expertise . WADDYOUSE WANT FA FREE ANYWAY? I'll put it on my list "make a left hand demo video" ...tonight..... 8pm. later..today "..fuck.!!!....where's me fookin list gone to?......MARGARET!???? MARGARET!!!?? where's me fookin list!??? Shite on a popsicle stick!"

yeah baby. nice pattern. a little worn out, but it's the really deally. Persian. my mother in law gave it to me. an artifact from her golden days as the golden daughter of a high powered Frankfurt lawyer before the big fall, his, hers, the whole country's , but we won't go into that.

High praise!! Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

de rien

Thanks. You must be one of the most heppest of the hep cats, if you dig my bag. Right then. I'm going to scoot ..see ya in a bit..oi my son..I'm so hep I can say goodbye in Brit English. Pretty fookin hip, innit squire?

thasss right .... i got musical superpowers now that i sold my soul to the Alien Lizard People Hegemony-----shazzam bing bang bam!

Golly Mister! @@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out

Okay. I'll make one some time next month if I can't get to it right away. To start, just practice left hand alone ( no right hand. til it's solid., automatic. ) You won't be able to be free with your right hand til your left is solid and auto magic. just 1 2 3 4. Quarter notes. Bang Bang Bang Bang "four on the floor", like a jazz guitarist in a big band would play, in the 40's, 50's. C E G Bb or C E Bb or just C and Bb then F A C Eb for f7 then G B D F for G7 if you want to practice like you're playing with a band with a bass player you can try this. E Bb (that's the 3rd and 7th of C7) then play Eb and above it, A (that's the 7th and 3rd of F7) Try it . You'll notice that the skeletal, pared down voicing of the chord, just the 3rd and 7th is enough to define the chord. And the notes are so close to each other that it makes it easy to go from one chord to another. Minimum movement. A key element for good "comping" e.g. chording. I'll demonstrate it for you when I have the chance.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oaiEgayUuLyogHk.htmlsi=UbNhPAmiWJCufoVT Well guv, seems like i forgot that i already made one.

I'm in Frankfurt, Germany. I haven't done Skype lessons, but I am willing to give it a go. You'd get a special introductory price for sure, due to my lack of experience in that regard. I'll be on the road for 2 weeks. If you want to try it.we can give a go and see how it works, and you can pay me by pay pal if it feels sastifactory. Feb. 3 or 4, or the next weekend after that if it suits your schedule better. 6 hour time difference to NY 9 hours to L.A. (It's 6:38 pm here now, and 9:38am in L.A. so we'd have to do it mornings 9-12 am your time if you're on the West Coast) give me your email address and i'll contact you via gmail and then delete it from this comment section

@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out did you get it?
