Almost 70, started piano from scratch 5 years ago, always loved Boogie, when played on old piano's, captures a nostalgic past. Your introduction is simple clear, inspirational for those passionate about wanting to learn. Thank you for keeping the fire burning.
I decided to learn Boogie Woogie as a coronavirus challenge. When I got locked up on March 17th, looked to RUclips and found this. I hated you. It was impossible at first. Then... one... note... at... oops, start over. one... note... at... a... time... I finally got it! Now I can wink at people while I play this!!! Seriously! I literally took a sip of beer once doing a "bass solo". Of course I should confess that I can't improvise yet, but I can see there from here. THANK YOU
This is the most wikihow tutorial ever in that it passes off a learning complex and difficult skill as an easy series of steps that you could knock out in a few hours, provided of course that you already know how to play piano.
It doesnt seem super complex to me when its broken down, and its clearly worked for a lot of people in the comments. It looks scary, but after some practice youll find its definitely possible
You monster... I should be studying for school and you have turned my piano in to THE most addicting thing in the world i litelary cant step away from my chair
Okay so you guys. I decided to learn boogie woogie last week. I was very determined. I played boogie woogie for at least 2 hours a day. I had a rough week. My boyfriend broke up with me, and I caught the flu... but when I wasn't writhing on the floor in agony, I practiced boogie woogie. It took me seven days to get to the end of this video; I just played a bit each day until I knew what I needed to work on. Today is the 8th day, and I CAN play what he plays at the end. I was planning on recording my progress to share with you, but my fever is too high and it might kill me. Just take my word for it for now. It is possible to use this video to learn boogie woogie!
Leeya I love this. Thank you for sharing!! I'm so sorry you had a very difficult week last week. Boogie woogie can definitely be therapeutic and perhaps you experienced that first hand. I'm very happy that you stuck with it and now have something to show for all of your hard work! Feel better soon!
This video is amazing!! I’m shocked how much instruction he packed into one 7 minute video. Will require many months to achieve proficiency but learning to Boogie is why I started piano. Thank you!!
wow...this is really easy to learn....it took me a week of practise and now i can play boogie woogie....i mean...there are still some mistakes here and there and you can obviously play it so much faster....but i'll keep practising...hopefully i'll be as good as you are one day
This is it. Im gonna learn the ways of the boogie woogie!!! Ive been playing piano for about 3 months, and Ive learned Another Love, River Flows in you and I also composed my own short piece! But my passion for boogie woogie is immense. I always smile when I hear the boogie. Its the type of music that will cheer an entire crowd even if they arent into oldschool music. I am 1 hour into practice and Im gonna record and track my progress and upload it!! Thank you for the tutorial!
I feel like plinking the bottles behind the bartender from across the room with a massive silver revolver. Lol seems like a fun drunk outlaw thing to do.
If I were an influencer or some-such, I'd make sure everyone who played or wanted to play watched this video. The best part is that it shows how to start & makes the R-hand variations so simple that they're easy to learn. This video was my launching pad to ~ dunno how to describe it properly ~ launching pad to learning how to improvise on a riff. There's such a freedom in that, in knowing that improvisation is not the mysterious province of only a gifted few. Been meaning to thank you, Arthur Migliazza, forever. PS: I love your combination of technique and looseness. Lots of classically-trained teachers/players are technically perfect but too tight, no soul, no emotion, too tighty-whitie for boogie, blues, jump blues, Southern gospel, old-school rock & roll; their swing notes sound too clean.
This tutorial is great! I had so much trouble in the past playing a left hand boogie rhythm while adding right hand licks. This makes the progression so much easier, and now I'm surprised I can do it. Thanks!
This is an incredibly helpful tutorial. I've been playing Boogie Woogie for many years but kind of got stuck in only a couple variations and this will help me take it to another level. Thanks.
I did Subscribe yesterday and will look at more of your videos. After practicing last night I've already improved some. I'm mainly focused on getting a new left-hand pattern memorized (brain and fingers).
Excellent! Yes, the hand independence exercise should get your "foot in the door" with any new bass line, then add licks in the right hand starting with Lick #1
I just started playing the piano with the help of an app and I want to try to do this but it will probably take me, as a beginner, a year or more rather than 6 months.
It took me ~2 weeks to reach the point around 2:30. I practiced every evening for ~30 min. I am not a piano player, though I play clarinet (I guess it helps a bit). I guess you could learn the basics quite fast. Of course, to have the flow it takes a bit more time.
I love how you structured this into small steps - I haven't practiced piano for years and getting into learning boogie by myself would look too intimidating for me now to even try, but seeing it broken down into small learning tasks I think I might get to it soon.
Thanks for the video it was the most concise once I've ever watched on YT. Most talk to much, play a lick super slow than go full on warp speed. Thanks.
Simply the best lesson on Boogie on the whole of the web. Straight to the point, every element clearly covered. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Now I must go and do some practice.
Some years ago I bought an upright piano for our daughters. I was a nice oak model, probably about 80 years old. Now and again the girls would come in and tinker, but nothing more. It sat n our dining room with photographs and vases on it. We finally advertised it and a lady bought it for her daughter who was learning to play. When her daughter saw it, she burst into tears. I'm glad someone is enjoying it, but after partly watching this video, I wish that we had kept it! Great work Mr Migliazza!
My dad spent YEARS trying to teach me this.. I can play the left hand and to a lesser degree the right hand.. but both together? Never in a million years!!!!! Hand independence on the piano is the bane of my entire life!! I have to say though. Watching you play that in the manner you did brought back a LOT of memories for me I appreciate that.. Thank you.
Meh Ster the. 12 bar blues form is based on the 1-4-5 chord pattern. Imagine your thumb is the C chord. Now count D,E,F on your fingers. You should be on the fourth finger which makes F the 4 chord. Now count one more and the 5 is G. 4 bars on the one, two on the four, back to the one for two bars, one each on the the 5 and the 4, then back to the one for two bars. I hope that helps you. That's the basic pattern, but you can switch it up a little once you master it.
Glad I could help. Lol, Im a total beginner on piano myself, I just know about blues chord structures from playing it on guitar for 30 years or so. Variations include playing the one for two bars, two bars on the four, then back to the one for two bars. Then play the turnaround like usual. Also you can walk down the 5,4,1, then back to the 4 on the last four bars. Play with it and have fun.Above all keep playing! You can only get better.
Although I'd make a tweak to the pattern used here. Instead of: CCCC FFCC GGCC I'd tend to do: CCCC FFCC GFCC And maybe occasionally: CCCC FFCC GFCG (G could also be G7 in all of the above)
I'm a classically trained pianist who is trying to learn a bit of more improvisational genres to expand my abilities. This tutorial is great! Good introduction to the genre for all levels.
I started piano 2 months ago. (inspired by Henri and Brendan, as well as other YT players) This is my second boogie piece to learn. The left hand bass and RH chords on this one are straightforward. Now to try those licks.
I was just getting started with the piano when I found this video, It took me roughly 6 months of daily practice, but I'm at a point where the only thing I need to work on is speed and finding/introducing new right-hand patterns. I just want to say that the best way to get better at this is to practice and you'll see that you'll see progress. I also wanted to thank Arthur Migliazza for making such an excellent video and I encourage those who are interested in the Boogie Woogie to practice the techniques taught here.
Wow! I never thought that I could play it more or less well. at the beginning I thought "ok that's possible". Then I came to the part where the hands should play together. And that's where the fun started. It took so much time and many nerves that the hands can now play together. With all other pieces, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, it's not that difficult because it makes sense to me how to play your hands together. but here is a completely different rhythm. and learning that was really difficult. but I can only tell you one thing: stay tuned. Worth it!!
Well COVID Lockdown has helped BUT 7 weeks in, I have finally gotten to the end of the video. YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! My first Boogie Woogie end to end! Thanks for the help and inspiration!
Check out the more in depth course on hand independence at www.schoolofboogie.com , it's free. All my videos. If you still have problems try other things like playing the left hand by itself while trying to talk to someone, or watch tv, or read. You need to load whatever bass pattern you want to use into your left hand's muscle memory, otherwise you will not become independent. So, do what it takes for you to personally make your left hand memorize its short series of movements (just a one-measure pattern repeated over and over). Hope that helps.
Sure, I agree with Arthur, or You can just divide the left pattern into 8 pcs and right into 8 pcs too - and then play first left tone with first right tone, and so on...
I'm a total beginner with piano. I have experience in other instruments but piano is the hardest to learn. I love classical and jazz pieces so learning it in my very own piano is great. I'm still trying to master hand independence but my speed is great. Thank you for the great tutorial.
Velocity Films practice with a simple melody like Mary had a little lamb with ur right hand and after 4 notes, start playing it on ur left hand so ur playing the same tune with both hands but one hand is lagging behind slightly, at first ur gonna find it really hard but it gets easier and helps a lot with playing different melodies at the same time
@@VelocityFilmsCO Don't think of it as two different things at the same time see it as juggling. Everything in music happens on the time grid just learn where each finger on each hand has to be on any beat and before you realize you'll be able to have the illusion of hand independence
Allright so today (26th July) I begin learning this masterpiece. I don't even know how to play the piano but I don't care. I must try. Wish me luck, Guys! XD
Dang it's been a whole year already. This was one of the first things I learned cause I was bored during quarantine and now whenever I see a piano anywhere, I can't help but boogie woogie
I’m going to start practicing this today. (2 in the morning lol) I am really exited to learn this!!! Day 1: learned the bass line. Day 2: worked on intro and bass line in all 3 keys Day 3: kicking the speed up a little and working on hand independence (on the triplets now) Day 4: Learned the chords changes on right hand with a real boogie rhythm Day 5: learned right hand variation in C
As a guitarist and drummer of many years I've always wished I'd learned piano for this kind of thing. One week in at 20mins per night (usually stretches to 30-40mins) I have all the parts down individually and have the rhythm & baseline okay, really struggling playing the licks with the bassline though ('struggling' is an understatement!) Give me a couple of months... then a couple more to get up to speed! Brilliant lesson.
Next to do list - learn to play basic boogie woogie and try not to mess up. Lol. Thank you, will try this awesome tutorial though I think I will need some time to learn;)
I love this presentation style. No silly verbals and some guy saying "play this yea, play that, yea" This is way way superior...at least for me! I'm a beginner and got this pattern first time. THANK YOU
Buying my first decent electric piano next week. Been teaching myself on a midi controller which, even for a lifelong musician (which I am) is a nightmare of transposition and lack of keys. This will be the only thing I play on my new piano for the next few months. I’ll let you know how it goes!
I'll put my "Hands Together" and clap, Bravo, molto bene! I've been teaching myself Piano for about 4 years now and I frequent these Boogie Woogie Tutorials now and again with the intention of learning it but, y'all are so danged good I end up just enjoying listening to it and then I go to my Piano and I'm like, huh? Lol! I'll get it some day and today's not the day. Great tutorial straight and to the point.
Hey bro keep up the good job you will eventually make it and be really proud of it i have been playing for ten years now and when i listen my boogie records from my beginnings i realiE how much i have improved and feel really happy. Im sure you will make it :)
I came here about a year ago (or more i don't remember how much time exactly) when I new NOTHING about piano, I've been practicing on and off and couldn't get past part 2, today I finally got to part 3, and maybe I still have a long way to go but I *promise* I WILL upload a video when i learn it!! I thought this was impossible, but I will learn it you'll see!!!!!
I needed this video! I have always wanted to play boogie-woogie but I couldn't because of my bad rhythm and knowledge of music even though I played the piano for 8 years! Thank you so much! This will be my new hobby✨
Thanks Paul. I'm not sure... let me know how long it takes you. :-) It will depend on the amount of time you put into it and how quickly you can build muscle memory. Also if you understand basic music theory it will help you remember quicker.
Arthur Migliazza I learned the first C C Eb E G C A G in about a hour (and I need marks on the keys to remember the notes, so that tells a lot about my skills)
I have played piano for over 14 years now. Yet, this was way harder than I was anticipating. Specially moving the two hand independently from each other may take time.
Music Account I think it depends on what kind of music you played till now. Classical piano is pretty different from boogie, but if you're coming from blues or jazz or ragtime, it doesn't feel difficult.
i have practiced this exact video for like 10 months. Thought it was impossible.
BUT I CAN FINALLY DO IT!!!! :D
That's awesome! Good for you for sticking with it. Please consider posting your own video of you playing it so you can help inspire others not to give up! All the best

i have used this site for years, but this may just be the best tutorial i've ever watched. fantastic work!
Thank you!
I have 8 years of practice! And i made it to the end in about 3 days🙃 Easy clap! Thank you for the wonderful Instructions!
Excellent!
Same speed, though?
I was just getting started with the piano when I found this video, It took me roughly 6 months of daily practice, but I'm at a point where the only thing I need to work on is speed and finding/introducing new right-hand patterns. I just want to say that the best way to get better at this is to practice and you'll see that you'll see progress. I also wanted to thank Arthur Migliazza for making such an excellent video and I encourage those who are interested in the Boogie Woogie to practice the techniques taught here.
Wow! I never thought that I could play it more or less well. at the beginning I thought "ok that's possible". Then I came to the part where the hands should play together. And that's where the fun started. It took so much time and many nerves that the hands can now play together. With all other pieces, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, it's not that difficult because it makes sense to me how to play your hands together. but here is a completely different rhythm. and learning that was really difficult. but I can only tell you one thing: stay tuned. Worth it!!
That is great news!! Thanks Felix
Simple and direct, thanks. Brazilian people love it
Wonderful step by step illustration of how to play. Boogie Woogie
Thank you Estrella!
Well COVID Lockdown has helped BUT 7 weeks in, I have finally gotten to the end of the video. YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! My first Boogie Woogie end to end! Thanks for the help and inspiration!
I can't devolp independece in Right hand. Help please
Check out the more in depth course on hand independence at www.schoolofboogie.com , it's free. All my videos. If you still have problems try other things like playing the left hand by itself while trying to talk to someone, or watch tv, or read. You need to load whatever bass pattern you want to use into your left hand's muscle memory, otherwise you will not become independent. So, do what it takes for you to personally make your left hand memorize its short series of movements (just a one-measure pattern repeated over and over). Hope that helps.
Sure, I agree with Arthur, or You can just divide the left pattern into 8 pcs and right into 8 pcs too - and then play first left tone with first right tone, and so on...
so... did you get it? in these 3 months ...
Really cool, I'm a beginner, and together with my six-year-old trying this. She works the right hand chords. Great!
awesome! please share a video when you guys get it together!
2 weeks ago, I decided to start my boogie woogie journey.
Finally, I learned this in 5 days, and improve for 1 week.
Thanks for the simple tutorial❤️
Piano teacher: So have you practised your scales since last time?
Me:
Solos de órgano no me olvides yaravi
Yo
@@bill7848 there isn't a single thing in that sentence that is misspelled. Practised is an accepted version of the past tense of practice.
@@bill7848 he wasnt even saying he was a teacher idiot
@@bill7848 its not dumb ass you didn't even read what you originally said. Its been 10 months and your still an obnoxious keyboard warrior.
I'm a total beginner with piano. I have experience in other instruments but piano is the hardest to learn. I love classical and jazz pieces so learning it in my very own piano is great. I'm still trying to master hand independence but my speed is great. Thank you for the great tutorial.
That's correct
I love this video, straight to the point without someone telling you unnecessary things
Thank you Kevin
The music is more simple that many people think about, is just about having fun.
And that's called jazz!
One of the ABSOLUTE BEST videos I've ever seen on learning Boogie Woogie A+++++++++++!!!!!!
Thank you!
“Step 2 develop hand independence”
Ok. Bye.
Coming from a guy who could not even dream of doing it it actually comes a lot faster than you'd think
Marc Beaulieu - Any tips on how to improve it? My brain literally refuses to play different things at the same time
Velocity Films practice with a simple melody like Mary had a little lamb with ur right hand and after 4 notes, start playing it on ur left hand so ur playing the same tune with both hands but one hand is lagging behind slightly, at first ur gonna find it really hard but it gets easier and helps a lot with playing different melodies at the same time
@@VelocityFilmsCO Don't think of it as two different things at the same time see it as juggling. Everything in music happens on the time grid just learn where each finger on each hand has to be on any beat and before you realize you'll be able to have the illusion of hand independence
LOL. You have Made me laugh
I though that with all my years playing classical music this wouldn’t be hard.
This shit is hard
i am eternally grateful for this video. Thank you so much Arthur Migliazza!
Allright so today (26th July) I begin learning this masterpiece. I don't even know how to play the piano but I don't care. I must try. Wish me luck, Guys! XD
Wish you good luck, man!
@@BV-sh7nu I stuck here: 1:21 :/ but I won't give up!
What about now ?
Now?
Now
Dang it's been a whole year already. This was one of the first things I learned cause I was bored during quarantine and now whenever I see a piano anywhere, I can't help but boogie woogie
I cannot stress how thankful I am, after roughly an hour every day I have cracked this piece in under 4 months.
"dO YoU kNow BoOgie WoOgie?"
Edit: 2k people knew it 😂
No, but I can show you where middle C is.
LMFAAAAOOOO
Is that jojo reference xD
“Don’t bash the piano”
My name is brendan, do you now boogie woogie?
oUi, J'aDoRe La BoOgIe WoOgIe
Love your tutorials less talk, more playing. Thanks
Thanks Judith!
Hands-down, THE BEST instructional video I've ever seen. You are a gem. Thank you.
This is the kind of tutorial I've been looking for... Finally! Love it. Can't wait to learn it!
Thanks!
Best boogie woogie teacher so far! Fantastic transposition love it 🙌
Def love the brisk no- nonsense style of teaching!
That's about as good a boogie woogie lesson in under 7 minutes as you'll find anywhere. 👋👋👋
As a great man once said "Bewgie Wewgie"
Brandon Rayes Terry Miles?

right guvner, but don't lay no bewgie Wewgie on the king of rock n roll!
you kind sir- are one of THE BEST teachers on RUclips!
I’m going to start practicing this today. (2 in the morning lol) I am really exited to learn this!!!
Day 1: learned the bass line.
Day 2: worked on intro and bass line in all 3 keys
Day 3: kicking the speed up a little and working on hand independence (on the triplets now)
Day 4: Learned the chords changes on right hand with a real boogie rhythm
Day 5: learned right hand variation in C
Hows the learning going??
That, Sir, is a mighty fine piano lesson. Great presentation
Thank you very much!
This was an awesome tutorial. I could play everything in just a few hours! (as a classical pianist) Thanks!
Ever since I first learned about jazz and blues I’ve always wanted to play the boogie woogie, and this has helped so much! Thank you!
Part 2: Develop Hand Independence
Alright just give me a year and a half.
Relatable 😂
20 years... and counting.
Hey, you done yet?
@@Vini-py3lf Almost there
@Adrian Navarro nice you are already half way on the road
This is actually a lot of fun, thanks for the tut! I can see myself progressing and it's only been a few days :)
r/Nofap
As a guitarist and drummer of many years I've always wished I'd learned piano for this kind of thing. One week in at 20mins per night (usually stretches to 30-40mins) I have all the parts down individually and have the rhythm & baseline okay, really struggling playing the licks with the bassline though ('struggling' is an understatement!) Give me a couple of months... then a couple more to get up to speed!
Brilliant lesson.
Bec W so how’d it go
Next to do list - learn to play basic boogie woogie and try not to mess up. Lol. Thank you, will try this awesome tutorial though I think I will need some time to learn;)
Yes, it will take time but hopefully it will be enjoyable and fun! Don't feel bad about spending weeks on each step.
I love this presentation style. No silly verbals and some guy saying "play this yea, play that, yea" This is way way superior...at least for me! I'm a beginner and got this pattern first time. THANK YOU
So gooooooood!
I had to laugh at the end when everything came together so beautifully! Loved this! :D
Thank you! That bassline is sick! Now my friends will see me and say: "Daaaaaaaamn!"
Honestly I can't thank you enough for this video
Brendan kavanagh brought everyone here i guess. I love this video
Henri
never heard of him but am off there now thanks
2:49 Is extremely hard.
Not even at 60 bpm I can keep up. My hands always mimick each other.
Im starting to get it! Now I just have to build up speed and keep practicing to stop getting lost.
@@Eltodofull Excellent! Stay with it
just got that part! took about 3-4weeks :D
Thank you for the tutorial! 2nd year goals!
I'm about to upload my 10 month update video. Hoping to have Boogie Woogie in my 2nd year of practice!
Excellent!
Thanks now I just learned the second most addictive thing i've ever tried.
Is heroin no 1?
Great tutorial very good presentation of chord sequences can't wait to learn this tomorrow will be a great party piece !! Well done !! 👍 AJ
Buying my first decent electric piano next week. Been teaching myself on a midi controller which, even for a lifelong musician (which I am) is a nightmare of transposition and lack of keys. This will be the only thing I play on my new piano for the next few months. I’ll let you know how it goes!
Bro this actually is a great tutorial, my left hand is amazing, still working on my right
This should be in the bible.
LOL thank you
Is this not the boogie woogie Bible
😂😂😂👌
We got the same name
this is the reason why the bible sucks
I'll put my "Hands Together" and clap, Bravo, molto bene! I've been teaching myself Piano for about 4 years now and I frequent these Boogie Woogie Tutorials now and again with the intention of learning it but, y'all are so danged good I end up just enjoying listening to it and then I go to my Piano and I'm like, huh? Lol! I'll get it some day and today's not the day. Great tutorial straight and to the point.
Hey bro keep up the good job you will eventually make it and be really proud of it i have been playing for ten years now and when i listen my boogie records from my beginnings i realiE how much i have improved and feel really happy. Im sure you will make it :)
@@unchaval5463 thanks I'm still working on it.
I came here about a year ago (or more i don't remember how much time exactly) when I new NOTHING about piano, I've been practicing on and off and couldn't get past part 2, today I finally got to part 3, and maybe I still have a long way to go but I *promise* I WILL upload a video when i learn it!! I thought this was impossible, but I will learn it you'll see!!!!!
This is the first and only thing i learned on piano
I wouldn't regret that
I needed this video! I have always wanted to play boogie-woogie but I couldn't because of my bad rhythm and knowledge of music even though I played the piano for 8 years! Thank you so much! This will be my new hobby✨
I can’t even play the piano, I don’t even own a piano, but God, I wish I did so I could learn thus
Then buy one
Do it, even if it’s a a cheap e-piano, you won’t regret it
yep, me too, I don't have a piano even I can't play it, but I want to buy it someday
ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO START
@@tensjawline5885 Absolutely I am 54 and have just bought a Roland digital piano although it is a bit easier for me as I can already play a guitar
Great video! I'll definitely try it out. Can somebody tell me the names of the greats that were shown at 0:05? :D
check the video description
Hey Champ. This Tutorial is phänomenal. I am Piano beginner and love your Boogie Woogie. Its fantastik Rhythmus.
How long it takes to learn it from 0 as a beginner?
Great work !
Thanks Paul. I'm not sure... let me know how long it takes you. :-) It will depend on the amount of time you put into it and how quickly you can build muscle memory. Also if you understand basic music theory it will help you remember quicker.
Arthur Migliazza I learned the first C C Eb E G C A G in about a hour (and I need marks on the keys to remember the notes, so that tells a lot about my skills)
Haha, just stick with it. It will become easier the more you keep at it.
I have played piano for over 14 years now. Yet, this was way harder than I was anticipating. Specially moving the two hand independently from each other may take time.
Music Account I think it depends on what kind of music you played till now. Classical piano is pretty different from boogie, but if you're coming from blues or jazz or ragtime, it doesn't feel difficult.
