Wow Flint another really great lesson. So good to have you back! Love the emphasis on playing slow in order to play fast. Heck, I appreciate all your advice on here. Dave Adams's post below captured best I think how all your students and fans feel.
What a kind thing to say, man! You made my whole week. I couldn't ask for a finer bunch of students and fans! Y'all make me happy and make me glad I'm teaching in addition to performing!
Hey Flint, love the down to earth teaching you do. Going to try to keep this short. My grandmother showed me a couple of songs on the piano back when I was around 8 years old (ally cat and somewhere my love), I picked up the guitar at 14, played in bands as lead about 25 years ago, lost my left little finger in 94. Over time (years), I actually started getting better than I was will all 10 fingers. But by this time bands had started to become a thing of the past. But I continued playing to the cows. about 10 years ago I started picking up the piano. Taught myself chord positioning. Only a year ago I really got serious. As you stated, it takes time and practice and I just now am having big discussions with my left and right hands trying to get them to work together. In my head I replay some of your boogies and can see myself being coordinated. But as you know, reality sets in when you sit at the keyboard. BUT, with your laid back teaching, I am getting there, yes, at least once every 2 days I take the time and practice. Especially the left hand as I only have 3 fingers and a thumb on that hand and a little modification is warranted. Anyways, thank you again for your vids as This one I must have watched at least 20 times so far. WIll be getting all your products once the two hands start working together..lol By the way, I am 66 years old and stil remember the ally cat and somewhere my love music, just now I figured out the chords for them also. You take care and sorry for the long comment.
Hey man, I just saw this! Don't really about the long comment, I read it with interest. It sounds like you're making all the right moves, that you love it, and that you're making progress. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for showing me how to burn my 1918 wurlitzer baby grand to the ground. It has broken strings, sunken keys and a couple of broken hammers. Now I have to watch piano how fix videos. I now improvise about I hour a day. To reset and recalibrate I'm watching all you videos again. Thanks again
Hey Tom! Did you see my FAcebook picture with my baby grand on the ground with all the torn up strings and broken hammers? Haha Go to FAcebook and check it out. It's the site with me and my wife on a Harley.
🎵Hi Flint, its always a great day when you wake up, check your phone and yes . . . . Flint Long has a new video posted!!

I thoroughly recommend this amazingly talented man, he'll fix your blues and boogie problems, better than any Doctor!! Another great video Flint! "Home before breakfast!" 😂😂😂 Excellent! 👏👏👏👏🎵
Hey Zimmy, glad you like the video. I'm gonna keep makin' more. Hope you'll cruise around my channed and find videos that will help you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "It's a Boogie Woogie World, BabY!:
Hey Guy! Even I have to admit the playing at the end grooves pretty good!!! It's fun to put both hands close together on the lower end of the keyboard and run the right hand licks right next to the left hand below middle C. That's how I got that super drivin' rhythm.
Hi Flint, I'm Loving your channel, I'm picking up some great tips. I have a question if that's okay. Your style of playing seems more like Rock n Roll/fast blues, compared to say Albert Ammons which sounds more 'jazzy' I guess. I know it all comes under the Boogie Woogie banner but it does sound different, I was wondering why that is. Could you explain please. Sorry I'm a beginner so trying to learn the details . Is it the notes you play in general or the straight rhythm in the bass left hand compared to swing style. Hope that makes sense. Thanks Jason
That is a really great question, Jason, and you have to forgive what I know is going to be a lengthy reply. You nailed it man. I no longer play the way I did when I was young and would emulate Albert Ammons and those guys. Are you familiar with Otis Spann, the blues pianist? Check him out. I used to emulate him as well. But over time I started to develop a sort of jazzier more fluid style, probably as the result of playing swing and classical and popular songs, and I lost a lot of that real, traditional feel. There are two guys of UA-cam that I just love the way they play that Albert Ammons type traditional feel. One is Dick Pitassy and the other one is Paddy Milne. These guys just knock me out. They are more solid than I am at this point, Another place where you're correct is, I played 50's rock n roll so much (Jerry Lee, Johnnie Johnson etc.) that I grew in that direction too. I think you nailed it, man. You must have a great ear! One thing I find myself doing in recent years, is tailoring my riffs and licks to sound like what a guitar or a sax would play. This is different than Ammons for sure, but I think it's kind of what your picking up on too. Anyway. if I can help you reach your oiano goals just let me know. My email is on the website: FlintLong.com And thanks for writing in! Your friend, Flint
