Excellent tutorial, thank you! You've shown a few details I haven't seen on others that really make the piece from to life . May I ask, what is the backing drum track you're using?
Last year I learned. this song using a funky left hand version (descending down the notes of the minor chords) that Dr. John used in the Clint Eastwood piano blues documentary. Thanks to this tutorial, I can now play the New Orleans rumba left hand accompaniment as a great variation! Danke!
Christian, this is so inspiring! You've done a real service to break it down to this degree. I feel confident that I can get somewhere with this, even if it takes me months...
I know this was one of your early videos but I wish your explanation was slower and that there was a pdf transcription. Maybe it would be good to revisit this?
While this is excellent Christian. It is one of your early ones aimed at advanced students. If you ever look to update old material, you might consider this one. Just a small suggestion in case you are uninspired for a new video to make. It is such classic piece, no?
Oh and... you search for the word. "Altered five" I think you mean "altered fifth". But your English is remarkable. Just help from an old English teacher.

Thank you, my long-lost German soul-brother!
Ah, and I for my whole life had the feeling, one half of me is missing. Here we go!

BTW, as a youth, I heard Professor Longhair play this at Tipitinas...
Thanks a lot, Judson! By the way, it took me over 30 years! :-)

Hey Christian, I can't find any material to this lesson on your website - did I miss it or didn't you publish any?
Excellent! Please more syncopated/complex stuff at this level!

I don't think I'm ready for this, but gonna try. Any new advice teacher?
Well, you said it yourself: Go trying! Otherwise change to something simpler.
You don't call out as many notes as you do in most of your videos - you're still great
Doug Nickerson its an early video. A tutorial channel also has a learning curve. 😀
For Fuchs sake
Well spoken!
You could call “Big five” in this case B flat sharp 5 (or augmented 5th) . High five 👋 for this video. But I’m gonna call it big 5 from now on 😎
