I am a 68 yr old harmonica player that does not play piano . Your lesson is very clear. My wife has keyboards so I am tempted to learn boogie woogie on them.Never too late to start. Right? I have always loved piano boogie woogie. Thanks. So much😁🎹🎶
I agree 100%! Hard to find a great teacher. Not saying I'll master this, but I'll give the ol' college try. BTW, my Dad played harmonica and I played the organ. We'd get it rockin' sometimes and it was always fun! Never a chore or bad feeling. Hit a wrong note, just keep playing is what he taught me. We had so much fun(back in the 70's)! He's gone now. I have his harmonica 🤗 and the memories 🥰 🎶🎹🎵🎼
You make the video seems good. I like the colour of the background black... And the colour red on the white key and green on the black key... Nice blend
Get your children into piano lessons early...once you become an adult, learning a musical instrument and being able to sight-read music is extraordinarily difficult. Believe me...I know...I took lessons when I was 40. My teacher was classically trained since 4. I studied hard, both the keyboard and theory for 2 and half years...then I self-taught from there....people say I play great, but piano players like me are a dime a dozen....don't quit your day job. Get your kids at the keys when they're 3 or 4 and watch'em take off.
Thanks for the tutorial. I seem to struggle with boogie woogie. I can play each hand independently without issue. But when I try to play them together, I seem to get out of synch. Is there a technique to get the rhythm locked in?
Yes yes yes my friend!! Excellent stuff. I play guitar for over 25 years, and am now starting to play some piano... my roommate got a little electronic piano and I love this...thx again for the video!
Very good presentation, I like the way the keys light up when your fingers touch the keys,,,,, it definitely helps my visual learning ability,,,,, because I cannot read music
Bill thank you very much for this lesson! It took me three days (not all days) to learn how to play. Now I can play whole melody with both hands twice slowly than you. I’ll check your course! Thanks again! Cheers! ❤️
Have no idea what the turn around is you add or the note you play before changing cords. You don't explain. I have slowed the video and watched over and over. I do not know what to do. How about explaining in another video. Before ending you play some kind of arpegio , not able to catch. Also ending, just too fast to catch. Slowing down video and repeating doesn't help. It does waste a lot of time.
I found your boggle-woogie music lesson very informative and helpful, as well as very entertaining. 👍👍👍 ... Thanks for sharing your video on UA-cam! 🌝👍
Love the video! Thanks for putting it together. I've been looking for a first boogie piece to learn so this really helps me. Any chance you have this piece as sheet music? If not, I'd pay for you to slap a PDF together!
Excellent instruction but please help me!!! I have a basic training in classical piano( but very new to this kind of rhythm) and can't get hand independence even when I am practicing very slowly. I am sooooooo frustrated--pls share some tips on how to practice for hand independence for those who are new to Boogie-Woogie rhythm. Thank you!
🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹 👎👎👎 The lesson for left hand is incomplete. There are various base notes and base licks left out in this video. There is even a awesome left hand bridge that’s been left out in this video. This guy only shows the bare bones, rather than the entire left hand part. The parts left out are simple and when added, makes it sound extra cool., if not, super cool. Nearly a hundred boogie videos later, I’ve yet to find any one who still remembers the correct way this is suppose to be played. I’ll make one as soon as possible, 🍷
I really like the high production value of your lesson. You see your hands and the graphic representation. Nice. But you also do well where so many fail; sound balance. You voice nicely dominates while the music complements at just the right level. I've always had a desire to learn Boogie Woogie and will take a look at your course, but I'm curious as to the equipment you use to get the keyboard graphic. I'm a longtime network news cameraman and video editor and I notice good production, especially in the sea of bad productions called UA-cam.
I have a lick that I came up with and done right it is very professiona lbtw I play guitar bass even some banjo. So reply here and I'll type it out for you. I think you will enjoy it it's in f and you play a bflat chord to it.
Bill Romer Bill I'm sorry I didn't see that you would like to see the f lick.. it might be in your arsenal.. I'll go ahead and post it.. I'll do the right hand.. it's just the f blues scale done with three fingers. First the scale f ab bb b c eb f . I think that the fingers always land on the same note. So here's the digital numbers 1 2 3 1 2 3 1.. I do this fairly fast.. for the new learners it will fill awkward at first but it is a great run. Sounds best on a bb 7 chord..
I bought a piano and have been going at this for a month(first song ever). I've got the intro(left hand) down pat but adding in the right hand on top of the left part is killing me since the video slowed down doesn't sync with the audio. Is there a way to get sheet music for it?
The sheet will kill your progress. Just keep practising independecies of left hand. You need to do with the right hand what ever you want, even brush your teeth's, but keep the left hand on rhythm.
Wow wow Wow lo voy a practicar, tengo 71 años y aprendí a los 7 años que mi Papa me compró el piano que ahora tengo aún. Gracias a Dios. Saludos y bendiciones desde México 🇲🇽
I didn't know that lick at the end but my piano teacher when I was 14 taught me this lick it has a familiar feel to it. .. I think this is it. . I use it sometimes.. just not lately.. when playing a g7 bb and db hit d and f thumb hits g . Then gb and bb hit g and b thumb hits f.. and just continue. This can also be single note style.
Thanks for posting this full tutorial. I have started practising and got to almost 80%. I am struggling with the ending.. it's too fast for me.. my fingers just cannot make it yet.. the reverse C7 arpeggio.. but I will get there soon. Thanks again it's fun !
how long can it take 2 develop this kind of hands coordination? can u suggest an exercise or technique or something to a **** like myself? u play w/o any visible effort but i can't do anything like that (may be I'm an ... you know... one of those "special" persons... no, not disabled. that might be an excuse for not getting to perform at your level in a flash. maybe i'm just a hopeless ***). even getting to play the bass pattern... i've been practicing for about a month now and can't get much father from where i started. :( i guess, it's just me...
An exercise that I figured out on guitar and piano play bb and the next high e ..that's c7 the b7 and the 3 ..now what's really interesting is going down in half steps takes us through the circle of fifths.. we go to the a and eb . Which changes to the third and b7.. they will keep on switching places. A good exercise is going down in these two note diads and playing c7 f7 bb7 eb7 ab7 db7.. ect.. if some one is new just do the first three or so chords . Just passing this on found it when woodshedding years ago.
Do you have any slow blues lessons with one left hand chord voicing with right hand licks runs etc🎹🎶really wanting to learn slower rhythm and soulful playing
is your course for established piano players only? who can already read sheet music fluently and have extensive knowledge of music theory and 'classical' piano education?
Love the lesson, I can do hands seperately but am having a heck of a time with getting the rhythm of the hands together :( (Classically, sheet music trained.)
Could you possibly build do this the beginning of the training blues slowly trying to get the left hand moving And then trying to add the right hand just a little difficult so could you go just a little slower please thank you
@@marshalllhiepler Yeah, I know, I get it. But it hurts my ears & makes me cringe. 😣 lol I guess it's only fair. Look what we've done to THEIR language!!! (Uttering under my breath, "We fixed it.") ;)
Can I get away with 61 keys playing this style? I watched the boogie piano parts from Let's Spend the Night Together and Loving Cup, by the Stones; both are mainly lllayed
Oops... ***Continued...both are mainly played in a 4 octave range, with some notes in the 5th. So I guess it basically comes down to whether I'm missing out on too much (w 61 keys) to play background parts. Thanks
Thank you for this. What surprises the heck out of me is how many dislikes. What?? Again, thank you from a very interested boogie woogie newbie. Like Russell; never too old to learn something new. In fact at 70 it makes life interesting. *****🙃
Can you please slow your fingers down as you’re teaching this? (a new video please?). I have the chords for both hands, but can’t put them together. Do you have sheet music for this? I really like it. Thank you.😊
Okay...THIS looks like it could be REALLTY helpful! Granted...this is from someone that can just barely play Chopsticks, okay?!?! I SOOOOO want to learn how to play boogie woogie. If I can get some kind of a handle on this, I would like to get a grasp on a bit of (simple) jazz too.
Ali Wazzan you need the lead sheet, but you ain't gonna get it. These vids are nothing more than contricks put out to get you to sign up for money, so you get shown a bit but not too much. I would sign up, if they weren't so greedy and wanted so much money 🤪🤪🤪
@@barryhunt8527 why do you need a sheet for this? you have to feel it and with many hours of practice and some rythm feeling in your blood you will get it. See Henri Herbert, he tought everything himself.
@@barryhunt8527 guess proved? :) always funny to see ppl trying to forbid other ppl's speak on the internet. And yes, my parents weren´t married when i was conceived, who cares? Do You? and how can you judge me as greedy? I did never mention that i need sth or did I?
Good teacher, explained clearly, and the overlay really makes it easy to see what notes are being played and that beats out other teachers without it

why is that having been trying to play this stuff all my life i learned more in the first 5 minutes of your tut than i have in half a century?
Best lesson. Thank you very much.

I need to develop hand independence but I’m having surgery on my right arm so I’ll have a hella strong left hand lmao
Ahhh mee tooo
Yes yes yes my friend!! Excellent stuff. I play guitar for over 25 years, and am now starting to play some piano... my roommate got a little electronic piano and I love this...thx again for the video!

It looks so easy until you try to play.. Haha🤣
My brain sucks. I can play just one hand at a time. Please do a tutorial on both hands co-ordination.
awesome, thx. I am a lounge jazz player and have always had a "mental block" on boogie. I always try to make it too hard, thx for an awesome tip
Amazing fun! Thank you so very much. I can finally bang out a rollicking boogie woogie! Seriously, a game changer for writing songs, too!
Here is my challenge on this covid day! Thank you x

Hi Bill, very yery good!!!!! Please please, do you have the piano-notes for your lesson....very good for learning, I'm a beginner! Thank you!!!!
Great lesson thank you I am getting the Tyros 5 for xmas 2019 am looking forward to giving this a go.
Hey! How is everything going? 😁
"Just like that"
Bill - I enjoyed your Boogie Woogie Piano Lesson above. Is your online piano course still available? Thanks!
Love the video! Thanks for putting it together. I've been looking for a first boogie piece to learn so this really helps me. Any chance you have this piece as sheet music? If not, I'd pay for you to slap a PDF together!
I have watched multiple videos on boogie woogie and never learned as much as I did in just this one video. Thank you! Sub'd 🎹🎹🎹
This is really good. Have learnt some blues and boogie woogie piano so far by ear. This is going to take me to another level. Loved it !
This my friend is simply music to my ears!! Love it!! Thank you so much for doing this. All the best from the UK.
Excellent instruction but please help me!!! I have a basic training in classical piano( but very new to this kind of rhythm) and can't get hand independence even when I am practicing very slowly.

Yes, hand independence is harder than I thought!
Practice.......practice and much more practice.........
As mentioned in other comments, hand independence takes time and practice… Just persist with those two things and you’ll get there in the end
Merci monsieur Romer pour vos tutoriels j'apprends le piano tout seul , grâce à vous j'avance, s v p continuer encore merci Robert

Hi, have been looking for one like this. Fantastic lesson. Thank You. I'll follow as much as I can.Thanks.
Played keyboard for years. Now i can play Boogie. many thanks Bill.
Thanks to you I quit practicing my Beethoven to learn this!
I’m a beginner and love the way you break it down .Thank u for all the tips are awesome and the visual I’m very excited thank u again👍
Really well teaching but it’s super hard for me to combine both sides together😂
It’s as if my brain doesn’t allow it😞😬😂
It's one of those things that you just have to struggle through until one day you just start getting it.
es increíble. aún siento que es difícil para mí , i'm beginner
My brain doesn’t allow me to do both my hands at the same time😑
Slow it down and keep practicing! You’ll get it!
Slow it * right * down ... practice ... it will come 😉
just purchased the full course. looking forward to getting started. thanks. i hope you can teach a rock......(cause, I are one)

Making boogie woogie easy and understandable. Fantastic! Thanks a lot!!!
Very good tutorial. Excellent execution. but for the beginners we nned to have the lead sheet. how shall i do please
Love how you pronounce “Buggy Wuggy”!
That IS the correct pronunciation. It is NOT bewgie-wewgie.
Depends which side of the pond you are on.
"Bewgie Wewgie" is standard pronunciation in Europe.
I wouldn't try to correct them on it either.

you're a good teacher and I can understand your English... Thanks very much for yr lesson - I will be bakc very often..
Yes, very good english and speaks slowly. Good stuff. :)
I’ll never grasp it😢

Can I get away with 61 keys playing this style?
I watched the boogie piano parts from Let's Spend the Night Together and Loving Cup, by the Stones; both are mainly lllayed
Oops...
***Continued...both are mainly played in a 4 octave range, with some notes in the 5th.
So I guess it basically comes down to whether I'm missing out on too much (w 61 keys) to play background parts.
Thanks
Men, you are definetly no teacher, you are a musician....
The problem is not the teacher...it's the student 😆
Thanks for not using 'umm' or 'uhhh' like so many others
you have to add the flatted seventh when you play the bass line is sounds so much better
awesome bill
Thanks I might compose something in this style.
Well now my only problem Is playing with 2 hands
when i play the right hand u never showed me when the left hand comes in and on wich notes i play it at the sane time
Excellent.
Great but cannot play both hands at the same time🙏😰
Why is the online version the same price as the CD version?
Very very good.
Brilliant! Do you have music sheet?
Super

Thank you 😅 great piano tutorial.
Just what my doctor ordered: More Boogie. Thanks a bunch!
you played the first rythm much too fast.
Which notes should I play if I want to do a boogie woggie bass line in E-A and B???? I will appreciate very much an answer
Can you please slow your fingers down as you’re teaching this? (a new video please?).
I have the chords for both hands, but can’t put them together. Do you have sheet music for this? I really like it. Thank you.😊
