    Worth noting: the 3 bass patterns represent bars 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12 of a classic 12-bar blues progression. I think it's smart not to mention it in a 2-minute explanation, great video!

      @@sstar62 Thought I'd share this with everyone, (or anyone who sees this.) When I posted a year ago, I still made a lot of mistakes, had terrible, terrible timing, and very little pressure control. The two things that helped me improve the most were learning to play duets with my younger sister (she is now twelve, and started learning piano around the time I did. We're at about the same skill level, but she prefers classical music.) And playing the rhythm game "Osu Mania". Here's my rendition of "Maple Leaf Rag" Which I have been working on. Hope you guys enjoy. (forgive the sound quality.)

    • @henrikpiano6476
      @henrikpiano6476 6 лет назад +2

      Scofa you have to master your left hand pattern and be able to play it while playing some other rhythms in the right hand. I‘d recommend starting slowly and using a metronom to keep your tempo and then start getting faster over time. But first learn some right hand riffs and when you‘ve mastered them start playing both hands together.

    I'm terribly sorry for this extremely late comment, I do understand that there is a certain "no commenting on X year old videos" tradition on youtube, but I just couldn't help myself.
    First of, these videos are amazing! The style of its execution and the amount of information crafted concisely into a 2 minute video are an artistic achievement the likes of which I rarely see anywhere! I thank you sincerely for all of your amazing work you put in there and gave us for free for us to enjoy.
    Anyways, are there really only three different ways you can do the bass section for it to still be considered "Boogie Woogie"? If that's the case, then it's no wonder that I get tired of listening to any music within that style for more than 15 minutes, half of the entire melody is repeated in every music piece!

    • @Dave-Wave
      @Dave-Wave  4 года назад +21

      Thank you very much for leaving a comment, I'm glad you like my educational videos! As far as I'm concerned, there is no "no commenting on X year old video" policy on my channel :) There are definitely more than 3 ways to play the piano bass section of a boogie woogie, here I've just showed the most popular ones!

    Замечательно! Особенно понравилось отдельное для левой и правой руки - фрагменты с затемнением и озвучкой. Становится ясно как идёт звуковой ряд и как что звучит. Так же приятно было видеть как для левой руки сверху вниз варианты игры и для правой руки сверху вниз варианты, а так же сочетания друг с другом. Приятно, когда знающие люди на пальцах объясняют в противовес тому, когда умничающие мало говорят, а смысла нет.

    I just realised both how much the songs or sections of songs I enjoy are related to Boogie-woogie, but also how similar the reason I watch these videos is to the reason I watch breakdowns on sorting algorithms. I don't have instructions, I couldn't make either if put on the spot, but I gained a new way of thinking and that powerful feeling of understanding now that I know something more than just surface level.

    Boogie Woogie, the dance, came up after Lindy Hop, somewhen in the 50s. But Lindy is danced more often to 30s Swing Jazz. And now you tell me that Boogie Woogie, the music, was earlier. I am confused. Why was Boogie, the dance, after Lindy, but Boogie, the music, before Swing Jazz?
