  • This is a technique I developed early on in order to maximize efficiency with my left hand while playing repetitive boogie woogie patterns. Hope that it helps you too! Enjoy

      Haha thanks Pablo! I’m working on a work/life balance strategy that allows me to make one almost every week. Hopefully it will succeed 😅

      @@thearthurmigliazza that’s wonderful that you are trying to do that once a week!! Especially for someone with your schedule today. Pablo is asking a bit much🤣 there’s so much info coming in on UA-cam that once a week is more than enough to practice and even if that’s the only instructor you listen to.

    A good lesson in general as it teaches the LH and wrist to remain relaxed and light.

    My left hand boogie woogie technique has always fallen a little short. This explanation of how you do it (and you do it well) might be just what I need. Thanks.

    It's as if you could read my thoughts 😄. Like 1 week ago I asked myself what kind of technique this is and how to learn it. I've seen it several times applied by other musicians. Thanks for sharing this. Your channel and tips are great ❤.

    I had the the Albert Ammonds bass line on my list to practice and did it with this technique. It's way easier than what I did before!

    This is helpful . Thank you so much ! I have tenderness at the base of my thumb. I feel it’s a strain injury. I have also had neck spasm after playing. We need your lessons to correct hand position and posture to avoid injury and fatigue. 🇿🇦😊

    Great advice, thanks!
    I get a bit of discomfort these days in the first joint on my little finger (next to fingernail), so I'm keen to reduce any undue punishment. Will try this.
    Got your BW book. Superb product, very well put together and lots of fun.
    Do you think you might eventually release a paper copy of the New Orleans book? And is there much overlap with the material in the BW book?
    Thanks again for all your efforts!

    • @thearthurmigliazza
      @thearthurmigliazza  7 місяців тому

      Thanks Phil! Yes give this a try for a couple weeks and see if it helps. No paper copy of the N.O. Book in the works… however it is available on Kindle on Amazon now. There is not much overlap at all with the BW book except for general principals of hand independence.

      I changed hearing aid components which I do once a month. Your piano was on one channel and voice on another. So I got it to work and could rewatch. Thanks for the LH tips!!
