I am a 68 yr old harmonica player that does not play piano . Your lesson is very clear. My wife has keyboards so I am tempted to learn boogie woogie on them.Never too late to start. Right? I have always loved piano boogie woogie. Thanks. So much😁🎹🎶
I agree 100%! Hard to find a great teacher. Not saying I'll master this, but I'll give the ol' college try. BTW, my Dad played harmonica and I played the organ. We'd get it rockin' sometimes and it was always fun! Never a chore or bad feeling. Hit a wrong note, just keep playing is what he taught me. We had so much fun(back in the 70's)! He's gone now. I have his harmonica 🤗 and the memories 🥰 🎶🎹🎵🎼
Yes yes yes my friend!! Excellent stuff. I play guitar for over 25 years, and am now starting to play some piano... my roommate got a little electronic piano and I love this...thx again for the video!
Bill thank you very much for this lesson! It took me three days (not all days) to learn how to play. Now I can play whole melody with both hands twice slowly than you. I’ll check your course! Thanks again! Cheers! ❤️
Wow wow Wow lo voy a practicar, tengo 71 años y aprendí a los 7 años que mi Papa me compró el piano que ahora tengo aún. Gracias a Dios. Saludos y bendiciones desde México 🇲🇽
Very good presentation, I like the way the keys light up when your fingers touch the keys,,,,, it definitely helps my visual learning ability,,,,, because I cannot read music
I like the camera view. It is clear and well lit. Gives the viewer a boost for f confidence to see they do not have to replay and replay till end of time. Love the down the scale sound. Well done
Thank you so much for the free lesson. I currently take piano lessons. I am a beginner/intermediate player. Im always on u tube trying to find music to play. This was very helpful thank you.
I am a piano teacher, teaching boogie. I watched this to learn how you teach and explain. LOVE IT! I really appreciate that you use the theory, "7ths, C root position" etc. Wonderful. I am subscribing. I didn't know this lick, so thank you for that too!! Bravo to ya!
Thanks for the tutorial. I seem to struggle with boogie woogie. I can play each hand independently without issue. But when I try to play them together, I seem to get out of synch. Is there a technique to get the rhythm locked in?
I've been playing stride piano for years and always that Boogie was too advanced but after watching this video I'm amazed how relatively simple it can be. Thanks a million.
I found your boggle-woogie music lesson very informative and helpful, as well as very entertaining. 👍👍👍 ... Thanks for sharing your video on RUclips! 🌝👍
An exercise that I figured out on guitar and piano play bb and the next high e ..that's c7 the b7 and the 3 ..now what's really interesting is going down in half steps takes us through the circle of fifths.. we go to the a and eb . Which changes to the third and b7.. they will keep on switching places. A good exercise is going down in these two note diads and playing c7 f7 bb7 eb7 ab7 db7.. ect.. if some one is new just do the first three or so chords . Just passing this on found it when woodshedding years ago.
Thanks for posting this full tutorial. I have started practising and got to almost 80%. I am struggling with the ending.. it's too fast for me.. my fingers just cannot make it yet.. the reverse C7 arpeggio.. but I will get there soon. Thanks again it's fun !
Love the lesson, I can do hands seperately but am having a heck of a time with getting the rhythm of the hands together :( (Classically, sheet music trained.)
Get your children into piano lessons early...once you become an adult, learning a musical instrument and being able to sight-read music is extraordinarily difficult. Believe me...I know...I took lessons when I was 40. My teacher was classically trained since 4. I studied hard, both the keyboard and theory for 2 and half years...then I self-taught from there....people say I play great, but piano players like me are a dime a dozen....don't quit your day job. Get your kids at the keys when they're 3 or 4 and watch'em take off.
I didn't know that lick at the end but my piano teacher when I was 14 taught me this lick it has a familiar feel to it. .. I think this is it. . I use it sometimes.. just not lately.. when playing a g7 bb and db hit d and f thumb hits g . Then gb and bb hit g and b thumb hits f.. and just continue. This can also be single note style.
I have a lick that I came up with and done right it is very professiona lbtw I play guitar bass even some banjo. So reply here and I'll type it out for you. I think you will enjoy it it's in f and you play a bflat chord to it.
Bill Romer Bill I'm sorry I didn't see that you would like to see the f lick.. it might be in your arsenal.. I'll go ahead and post it.. I'll do the right hand.. it's just the f blues scale done with three fingers. First the scale f ab bb b c eb f . I think that the fingers always land on the same note. So here's the digital numbers 1 2 3 1 2 3 1.. I do this fairly fast.. for the new learners it will fill awkward at first but it is a great run. Sounds best on a bb 7 chord..
You make the video seems good. I like the colour of the background black... And the colour red on the white key and green on the black key... Nice blend
I really like the high production value of your lesson. You see your hands and the graphic representation. Nice. But you also do well where so many fail; sound balance. You voice nicely dominates while the music complements at just the right level. I've always had a desire to learn Boogie Woogie and will take a look at your course, but I'm curious as to the equipment you use to get the keyboard graphic. I'm a longtime network news cameraman and video editor and I notice good production, especially in the sea of bad productions called RUclips.
Excellent instruction but please help me!!! I have a basic training in classical piano( but very new to this kind of rhythm) and can't get hand independence even when I am practicing very slowly. I am sooooooo frustrated--pls share some tips on how to practice for hand independence for those who are new to Boogie-Woogie rhythm. Thank you!
Thank you for this. What surprises the heck out of me is how many dislikes. What?? Again, thank you from a very interested boogie woogie newbie. Like Russell; never too old to learn something new. In fact at 70 it makes life interesting. *****🙃
Hey Bill, I'm impressed with your teaching style - well spoken, clear instruction, and not PAINFULLY slow as most instructional videos are. I am a life long piano player and teacher as well but I'm always looking for new cool licks to add to my style. Do you have any videos that are for rather advanced players? Perhaps simply just chocked full of blues and boogie woogie licks? Both left hand walks and right hand blues licks/rolls, slurs, hammers..... I'm sure you get the idea. I would be very interested in seeing "everything you got" so to speak packed into a DVD or two (or ten, lol). I'm not a big Jazz fan but if you have some Jazz licks that are really cool and can carry over into the blues/boogie world that would be great too. Thanks and keep doin what you're doin
Love the video! Thanks for putting it together. I've been looking for a first boogie piece to learn so this really helps me. Any chance you have this piece as sheet music? If not, I'd pay for you to slap a PDF together!
Do you have any slow blues lessons with one left hand chord voicing with right hand licks runs etc🎹🎶really wanting to learn slower rhythm and soulful playing
Okay...THIS looks like it could be REALLTY helpful! Granted...this is from someone that can just barely play Chopsticks, okay?!?! I SOOOOO want to learn how to play boogie woogie. If I can get some kind of a handle on this, I would like to get a grasp on a bit of (simple) jazz too.
Dear Bill, I really enjoyed your video. I myself am also a piano content creator, but I have no idea what software you use to show the keyboard above your piano keys. Is there any chance you could help a fellow piano brother out, and let me know where I need to go to get a software keyboard with the names on the keys, which light up when you hit the corresponding note. Thanks a ton! Plus, after watching your video, I have a lot more in my piano arsenal. Thanks so much for this amazing video!
I am a 68 yr old harmonica player that does not play piano . Your lesson is very clear. My wife has keyboards so I am tempted to learn boogie woogie on them.Never too late to start. Right? I have always loved piano boogie woogie. Thanks. So much😁🎹🎶
How did you get on Russell??
Cool
Congrats! Now I’m motivated.
I agree 100%! Hard to find a great teacher. Not saying I'll master this, but I'll give the ol' college try. BTW, my Dad played harmonica and I played the organ. We'd get it rockin' sometimes and it was always fun! Never a chore or bad feeling. Hit a wrong note, just keep playing is what he taught me. We had so much fun(back in the 70's)! He's gone now. I have his harmonica 🤗 and the memories 🥰 🎶🎹🎵🎼
By my calculations about now you are in the perfect age sir!
Good teacher, explained clearly, and the overlay really makes it easy to see what notes are being played and that beats out other teachers without it
why is that having been trying to play this stuff all my life i learned more in the first 5 minutes of your tut than i have in half a century?
Played keyboard for years. Now i can play Boogie. many thanks Bill.
Yes yes yes my friend!! Excellent stuff. I play guitar for over 25 years, and am now starting to play some piano... my roommate got a little electronic piano and I love this...thx again for the video!
Bill thank you very much for this lesson! It took me three days (not all days) to learn how to play. Now I can play whole melody with both hands twice slowly than you. I’ll check your course! Thanks again! Cheers! ❤️
Best lesson. Thank you very much.
Merci monsieur Romer pour vos tutoriels j'apprends le piano tout seul , grâce à vous j'avance, s v p continuer encore merci Robert
This is really good. Have learnt some blues and boogie woogie piano so far by ear. This is going to take me to another level. Loved it !
I can’t help but smile when I hear boogie woogie music
Me too. It just cracks out when it kicks it 😁
Wow wow Wow lo voy a practicar, tengo 71 años y aprendí a los 7 años que mi Papa me compró el piano que ahora tengo aún. Gracias a Dios. Saludos y bendiciones desde México 🇲🇽
You guys need to jump on this course. I bought it as soon as I got the email notice. It's really something! Thanks, Bill!
Very good presentation, I like the way the keys light up when your fingers touch the keys,,,,, it definitely helps my visual learning ability,,,,, because I cannot read music
I've tried a few different boogie woogie videos, yours is the best.
I've always loved boogie woogie but never understood the construction. This simplified it for me.
Amen
I like the camera view. It is clear and well lit. Gives the viewer a boost for f confidence to see they do not have to replay and replay till end of time. Love the down the scale sound. Well done
I’m a beginner and love the way you break it down .Thank u for all the tips are awesome and the visual I’m very excited thank u again👍
Here is my challenge on this covid day! Thank you x
Thank you so much for the free lesson. I currently take piano lessons. I am a beginner/intermediate player. Im always on u tube trying to find music to play. This was very helpful thank you.
awesome, thx. I am a lounge jazz player and have always had a "mental block" on boogie. I always try to make it too hard, thx for an awesome tip
Amazing fun! Thank you so very much. I can finally bang out a rollicking boogie woogie! Seriously, a game changer for writing songs, too!
This my friend is simply music to my ears!! Love it!! Thank you so much for doing this. All the best from the UK.
This is the best teaching vid I've seen so far. The red & green lights really help to keep up.....👍
Just what my doctor ordered: More Boogie. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you! Gonna follow this lesson - its taken away the fear of learning Boogie Woogie
Thanks Bill This is the best boogie woogie lesson i`ve ever seen
Amazing, just discovered this! Awesome instruction
I have watched multiple videos on boogie woogie and never learned as much as I did in just this one video. Thank you! Sub'd 🎹🎹🎹
Making boogie woogie easy and understandable. Fantastic! Thanks a lot!!!
I am a piano teacher, teaching boogie. I watched this to learn how you teach and explain. LOVE IT! I really appreciate that you use the theory, "7ths, C root position" etc. Wonderful. I am subscribing. I didn't know this lick, so thank you for that too!! Bravo to ya!

08:21 “Very simple, dont let that blow u away”.. Aaand I was already blown away before you said that!
Just a quick thank you from an 76 yr old pastor who happens to like boogie woogie just to listen to it . . . might be able to make my own with this
I found your boggle-woogie music lesson very informative and helpful, as well as very entertaining. 👍👍👍 ... Thanks for sharing your video on RUclips! 🌝👍
Very instructive video to start with, thank you. Pieter from The Netherlands
All this has been on my mind for many years, thank you very much for the mortgage. Good morning 👋👋👏👏👏👍😎

Some nice intro' stuff here. Now all I need is a keyboard to get practicing !

you're a good teacher and I can understand your English... Thanks very much for yr lesson - I will be bakc very often..
Yes, very good english and speaks slowly. Good stuff. :)
just purchased the full course. looking forward to getting started. thanks. i hope you can teach a rock......(cause, I are one)
I have a lick that I came up with and done right it is very professiona lbtw I play guitar bass even some banjo. So reply here and I'll type it out for you. I think you will enjoy it it's in f and you play a bflat chord to it.

update?
😱 Jasper007 S - You purchased a lesson with a lot of the left hand boogie parts and licks missing.
You make the video seems good. I like the colour of the background black... And the colour red on the white key and green on the black key... Nice blend
Yer a nice blend
Estou tentando… cada dia avanço um pouquinho. Obrigada.🌺❤️
Beautiful video and playing!..I'm just starting out and your playing is really inspiring. Thank you
Wonderful lesson, thank you for enlightened me 🙏
Excellent teacher! Love it 👏👏💯

Great! Please more lessons like that!!
Alejandro Pajuelo García is
Excellent.
Excellent instruction but please help me!!! I have a basic training in classical piano( but very new to this kind of rhythm) and can't get hand independence even when I am practicing very slowly.
I am sooooooo frustrated--pls share some tips on how to practice for hand independence for those who are new to Boogie-Woogie rhythm. Thank you!
Yes, hand independence is harder than I thought!
Practice.......practice and much more practice.........
As mentioned in other comments, hand independence takes time and practice… Just persist with those two things and you’ll get there in the end
you have to add the flatted seventh when you play the bass line is sounds so much better
Great lesson. Perfect example of where less is more. Impressive. Thank you!
Absoutely amazing. Thanks for sharing this
Thank you. Well done. Inspiring.
very fine approach !! you give courage for working !!
Very good tutorial. Excellent execution. but for the beginners we nned to have the lead sheet. how shall i do please
Thank you for this. What surprises the heck out of me is how many dislikes. What?? Again, thank you from a very interested boogie woogie newbie. Like Russell; never too old to learn something new. In fact at 70 it makes life interesting. *****🙃
I think it's completely awesome . I love it .thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
A very good piece to roll for me as a beginner !
Very interesting, short, easy and understandable.

Great video, you are really good as teacher!
Absolutely brilliant thank you.
Love the video! Thanks for putting it together. I've been looking for a first boogie piece to learn so this really helps me. Any chance you have this piece as sheet music? If not, I'd pay for you to slap a PDF together!
There's NO WAY to buy your software on this page. How much and HOW do I do it? Thanks. Very easy to understand. The best visuals I've seen.
best boogie woogie lesson
