Introduction to Jimmy Yancey--the man and his music. Watch Annieville's unique perspective and understanding of the world of Jimmy Yancey and his piano style. Learn to play basic Jimmy Yancey licks.
Hey ANNIEVILLE, To me, this lesson is worth it's weight in gold. I been playing guitar for 50 years and got hooked on Boogie Woogie Piano 3 months ago during the lockdown here in Scotland. That happy music made all the difference to my mood. Guitar(s) under the bed for the time being. If I find any [gold] I'll send it to yuh., ha! Thank You for the tutorial. Best wishes from Scotland.
It's me ANNIEVILLE not Paul-Thank you every one for all your wonderful feed back & comments. I am still in route in figuring out this You Tube stuff when posting ,filming etc..... So sorry I have not been able to reply to each person...........Also, thank you for good thought & prayers for my sister who is fighting breast cancer at this time. God Bless- Annieville will have more lessons out soon
Annie, Thanks for slowing it down....this is one of the best online lessons I've seen. So often, despite their best efforts, the online teachers succumb to showmanship making it difficult to really grasp the lesson. I like how you broke it all down and yet gave us something sweet to play.
Thank you for keeping the memory of the great Jimmy Yancey alive ! I note with slight envy that you have a wonderful grand piano there. Looks to be a Yamaha. Well done !
I'm so happy UA-cam delivered this to me. It perfectly suits where I am, early in my radical training (all improvisation with the goals of meaning and clarity). Not sheet music but a clear breakdown that makes sense with my foundational rhythmic and tonic fluency. Next day: Tapped the table for a while; played one note with each hand for a while, Played left, played right, put it together, GOT THE WHOLE DAMN THING!
Annieville did it again. So glad you got this up and running. You are by far the best teacher of piano I have ever taken from. You know how to break patterns etc apart and set a good learning pace. Looking forward to more. Barb
Annieville: I wish you and your sister the best. Thank you so much for your lessons. I hope you can make more lessons soon. You are very clear and make this do-able and understandable.
Hello John- I appreciate your kind wishes for my sister it's been a long journey. I am happy to know you enjoyed the lessons and more will be posted soon!
Excellent tutorial, even for a 40 odd novice like me. Got the left hand, got the right, but together, not so good. Been hooked on boogie since I was quite young, long before youtoob. Next time your in Scotland, maybe a lesson? Keep up the good work.
Hi Michael- Thanks for your message and I don't know when I'll be in Scotland, so stay tune for the new lessons coming up soon. Also I plan to teach private lessons through Skype . P.S 40 yrs old is young, my oldest student is 72!
Great video! I learned that Yancey was the groundskeeper for the White Sox and not the Cubs (like I had thought, sorry Chicago baseball fans... LOL). As a music teacher, it's always amazing to me that often the best instruction on UA-cam has so few views.
Hi Crankbv1! it is me Annieville Not Paul the friend/student of mine who helps me with utube. I want to thank you for taking time to give me your wonderful feed back reguarding my Jimmy Yancey Piano lesson. I plan to teach more lessons on Jimmy and many more great blues players & styles. I do have a DVD coming out later called Juke Joint Jammin for Blues Piano players. also hope to set up private piano lessons via skype. Keep playing those "Great 88"s' and again Thanks! Annieville
Paul, wondering whether Annieville is still teaching. Having discovered these few videos, kind of a shame if she's quit, or worse, is no longer with us. I'm old and that is often my experience.

A wonderful lesson - very clear! I sent the link to my daughter, as she is now learning to play (quite well!) and I thought she would enjoy this.
Thanks Annie
