Ich habe noch Probleme damit, gelernte Riffs zu variieren oder gekonnt zu verknüpfen. Meine Übergänge bestehen momentan meist aus Trills oder ganzen Akkorden. Vielleicht ist das ja eine Idee :) Danke!
Das Tutorial, auf das ich gewartet habe! Es gibt nichts, was die Akkorde beim Boogie so gut erklärt wie dieses Video. Ich habe viele Riffs gelernt und kann gut improvisieren, doch auf der theoretischen Seite war ich quasi aufgeschmissen, da ich nur erahnen konnte, um welche Akkorde es sich eigentlich handelt. Jetzt kann ich von einer ganz anderen Seite an meine Boogie-Impros rangehen. Werde mich gleich ransetzen, um die Akkorde und Umkehrungen zu üben. Danke!!
REALLY well explained. I think you have the clearest and best way of explaining the basics in boogie. One thing that would've been cool is if you also explained chords to use in an Intro and as an ending. I'd love it if 1: you could make a tutorial on the best way to create lines/riffs to use in your own boogie 2: make a tutorial on how to arrange simple songs in boogie-woogie form. This one would be great (an example would be, how to convert jingle bells into a boogie, how to convert happy birthday into a boogie, etc.). That would be awesome. :) Thanks, Chris!
Hi Jonah. Thank you very much for your kind comment. Good ideas! I'll put this ideas on my list and maybe soon I'm going to do a tutorial about this topic! Keep playing this great music! Chris
Danke Chris für das Tutorial ich setze mich sofort ans Klavier 👍👍👍🎹🎹🎹 Tutorial für die Improvisation wäre ne coole Sache fürs nächste Mal👍 LG Gregor 👍🏼
I find it much easier to think of scales as pure intervals. All major scales are just W, W, H, W, W, W, H, where W is a wholetone and H is a halftone. It makes scales less intimidating when you get to the keys with more sharps and flats.
Thanks for your comment. Also thinking in scales works of course. Sometimes (especially in Jazz/Swing) I'm also thinking in scales. But in Boogie more in chords, since I focus on that single notes of the chords. I think it's different for everyone... :-)
Chris, This is excellent information and boy it's a lot to process. I have no doubt I will be watching this many times. For me, being a beginner, I think it would be very helpful if your next tutorial was a "Part II" to this one with an emphasis on exercises and playing along. Much like Dave did in your left hand independence video. His segments where he slows things down and then has you play with him have been invaluable to me and believe it or not I can almost play the entire song The Hucklebuck now without mistakes thanks to them. For example, if you could take several of these cords you have mentioned and engage us as viewers to play along with you slowly and then build up that would be really great. You might even choose what I would call a "chord simple song" for us to master, much like Dave did with The Hucklebuck. Last thing, what makes your videos special is that you are injecting more of your personality and sense of humor into them. Not only am I learning something but I'm also getting some laughs along the way. Can't beat that combination! Again, Chris, thank you for doing this video and for all of your videos. I know they take a lot of time to produce and your efforts are much appreciated by all of us out here in the worldwide land of boogie! William Paxton
Thanks William! I'm glad, that you learned a lot with Dave. He is just a brilliant piano player and teacher. I'm thinking about your helpful requests and see what I can do :-) Thanks!
Haha Chris, good to see your card trick worked out! Thank you for another excellent tutorial. Loads of content to keep us busy! 13:10 onwards 🤯 That will be repeated a few times in slow motion 🧐😀🎹
Hi Chris... Many thanks for all of your great tutorials. Perfectly explained. Hope to see you soon again in one of the festivals ... If you are around in Thailand one of these days, let me know, maybe we can make some Boogie "happen" here ;-) Cheers Denis (a very good friend of Jean-Pierre)
THANK YOU! I've subscribed! Very useful video to bring my boogie skills to the next level. Please do some right hand boogie melody in C and G. Thank you :D
Hey, Chris. It's been a while. Three years since you posted all of these great videos. I've still playing, or rather trying to learn now to play. Your videos, along with some advice from Stefan Ulbricht, has formed the base for my practice sessions. I am getting better but for one area that is still proving to be troublesome. You refer to it as your left hand "grooving." I take that to mean that it sort of goes on its own while you play chords and melodies with the right hand. I am able to play chords pretty well, especially if I play a shuffle with the left hand. But when I go to a standard 12 bar blues pattern and attempt to play a melody with the right hand, my fingers forget to work independently. Do you have any tips as to how to get your left hand to groove? I know you are busy but if you could ever do a video on grooving your left hand I think it would easily be your most popular. Take care my friend. Bill in Los Angeles
Maybe begin simply by perform right hand licks which are in ryhtm with your left hand. It can be helpful to play around with a more simplified left as well. Start with both hands synced, then have your right hand do double rhythm or something. I don't play amazing, but I remember when I was first getting both hands to work together it was a slow build out using licks which were pretty similar to what the left was doing or at least slowing verything down and digging into the mechanics to find events in my right hand which actually lined up with what my left was doing.
What tutorial do you request next? Looking forward for your suggestions. Keep on Boogie! :-)
I would love too see some intros/outros/or right hand licks
Good idea - thanks!
@Homie Barend auch ne gute Idee👍👍🎹
Gregor Maximilian Tippl danke schön

In 7:45 didn't you just go from C6 to Cm6 rather than F7?
