The old maestro from great time, great you guys,with specialy feeling for playing piano,such as good playing!!!!!!
I enjoy it!!!!!!!!
Wow, Dick plays so well! It was a pleasure to have him as a guest in this video. You guys are so good together! So nice you guys became friends! And now knowing the story behind it makes it even more special :)
🎵Hi Flint, just had to say how much I enjoyed this latest video. Always look forward to a new Flint Long posting as they are always so much fun and full of useful tips and techniques to learn! Say Hi to Dick, my new boogie friend and thanks again Flint, you are so inspirational to us wanna be boogie players on the ol' 88's!! Keep smiling friend! Cheers! 🎹🎹👍👍👏👏👏👏🎵
Oh DAve, so great to hear from you! You always say the kindest things! Yup Dick is the greatest and I'll let him know your his new boogie friend! Of all the players I've known, I think he has the best "feel,," for the idiom. His left hand is second to none. His left hand is so solid. We're going to shoot another one today, some folks have remarked that I should get an overhead of Dick's left hand patterns and dive into it a little deeper. It's a Boogie Woogie, World, Baby!
Awesome ,Y'all rocking Flint love love it !
Violet! Thanks! And thanks for telling me so!
Mr Pitassi nailed what you need to do. Practice your left hand for hours and hours. To me, there is no other way. Thanks for confirming this in your video.
Hey Lou, I'm glad to hear you say it too. I think we just have to want it SO bad. I tell my students to get the left hand going and keep it going for several 12 bar choruses and then take the right and try to kinda "poke" it in there once in a while,, but keeping the left hand going at all costs. By poking it in there, I mean with a simple chord punch or even a random single note here and there.
Yeah sounds great Ithink ican get left ,Ineed to see on the right love you guys thank you so much Flint !!
Practice, practice, practice my darling!
happy Happy happy. Look at " them " fingers . Never get tired of that sound. Great interview. Great story from DIck. Repetition does it,, nothing is easy coming if you want to be good. Felice here

Hey. thanks you wonderful person!

Hi, Rosanne! Well, Dick has the wisdom and I've got the experience! LOL.
So enjoyed this ,such great talent . I like how you ask the questions so your students can really learn from it and gives motivation and information to help us all learn how to practice ,your interviews are always interesting and very informative. Thank you , keep up the good work 😊
Thank you, Sandy. You are another up and comer in the Boogie Woogie World! You've got the feeling for the real Boogie Woogie when you play! Thanks for the kind comment.
Sounds great! And your arms are looking good, Flint 💪💪

Greetings from Poland
I am So happy to hear from you in Poland. I LOVE Poland. I have played and performed in Gdansk, Sopot, Warsaw. Poznan, Mragowo (near Mazurian Lakes Piknik Molo Festival) Wroclaw, and others. The public in Poland knows and understands good music of all genres. Jazz, Classical, Boogie Woogie, Ragtime, etc. I love it there and would love to return and play for my Polish friends and fans! Many best wishes to you!
Thank you very much for your nice answer
totally awesome! any way you can shoot a short video on Mr Pitassy's left hand patterns as they were difficult to see due to angle?
Dean - you're in luck! Dick and I are going to shoot an overhead video of these same patterns next Tuesday, just for YOU! Actually, it will probably help a lot of other folks too! So be on the look out for it. Okay? I'll try to get it up on UA-cam the evening of October 17.
Hey Dean, Well, we shot the video with you in mind, but it didn't turn out good enough to post on UA-cam, so I'll send it privately to you. Alls you gotta do is send me your email. And I'll send it along to you using an app called WeTransfer. You can email me privately at FlintLongPiano@gmail.com and leave me your email address. I'll not share it with anyone but I'll send you the overhead closeup instructional video of Mr. Pitassy's hands. You'll enjoy. I'm pretty sure it's exactly what you need. I'll wait to hear from you, Dean. Thanks.
Still watchin'..😁
Hey man, so glad you are! Thanks for writing in to say so!
Are you doing a tutorial on the right hand

Please hyperlink / clickable your website in all of your video's, so we can go straight to your website.
Man, thanks for reminding me. I'm so un-techie it's pathetic. Thanks!
Man, I tried to figure out how to do it. Still working on it. I think it used to be easy. Some of my old vids have a hyperlink. But now they seem to want you to do a bunch of stuff to get a hyperlink up there. I don't get it. Still working on it. Thanks for prodding me and helping me make it better for my audience! Thanks!
