[zivkovicable]

[MrWeedpatch]

Wow....pretty bad huh..........

[7simonkaplan]

So bad, so bad...

[harptrian]

nice little sophistication 

[OldMusicisGoldMusic]

Extremely out of time and basic.

[mynillywita9milli]

i really love how erradic the timing is especially with the left hand keep crocking

[hpburman]

This is terribly bad! It doesn't swing at all! He sounds like a complete beginner. This SUCKS!!!

[Mrguns777]

Он точно расист и кретин))))

[MrRrRamon]

hmmm

[Filotimos]

Dickhead hitting a piano, LOL

[virgilgray]

Internet Legend he says? NOT in my book....

[virgilgray]

I have been playing keys now for over 8 years, and if I couldn't do any better than that, I WOULD CUT MY EARS OFF......

[WelcomeToZomboCom]

I don't know what's more sad: people who are truly offended or the ones that genuinely think this is good music

[vaikla]

Nob !

[thibolt236]

Il arrive presque à me dégouter de la musique...

[thesix107]

WHO PASSED YOU

Your coordination and timing is OFF. You don't have the right offbeats. It's like everything is on time, and so is your right hand...sorta, but it's SUPPOSED to be offtime. The LH doesn't even match with the RH. Holy fuck.

[pduncan742]

Hey dude, you gotta a heleva rythem. Keep practicing

[MartinaFromPoland]

music killer !

[SzychaDestruktor]

LOL

[hanojekcim]

my grandma is better than you!

[whatup91]

you're pretty much hurting my ears. ew.

[Franki23]

sonido malo.

[Jason8705]

Is this guy serious?? =/

[datmpham]

Why do you have to jack up the piano like that ?? why are you insulting boogie woogie music? if it was a deaf monkey doing this crap then I would understand .. but geez ,, for the love of humanity ...no more piano !! :-)

[neushaar649]

normal people say. 205 retard click the dislike..

but in this case ill say 48 people are RETARD

[oYFOR]

coolllllllllllllll............­....

[mrpolaroid123]

this is soooooooooo bad

[scarysillyhappy]

Indeed, You are a Legend.

[gear6911]

thumbs down Yikes! my daughter plays better, she's 6!

[hardballget]

BTW it's not serious he does plenty of stuff but still disturbing though.

[hardballget]

my mother taught me if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all but I do have to say that was weird, really weird. Music for people held hostage in a dungeon.

[zarg12]

Is this shit heel serious? I've heard some amazing Boogie Woogie tunes on YouTube and this is not one them. I could play better bouncing on a piano with my ass after 12 Captain and Cokes.

[herrfiebig]

this is some of the worst crap, i´ve ever seen on you tube. you really don´t know how to play boogie woogie at all, man - very, very baaaaad!!!!

[Shadowshamer]

You can tell he's a jackass by the transitions/non-effective sunglasses.

[republicadelFunk]

QUE MAL PIANISTA ERES! te falta mucha coordinacion ritmo y demas!.. hasta me aguitaste el dia!.... very bad pianist!

[natavivi]

ummm he can't play together very well! internet legend???? my foot! until the drums come in -- he's not in time! and even then ...

[natavivi]

ummm he can't play together very well! internet legend???? my foot!

[jaozera789456123]

Insan



[dterence7]

You sound like a toddler smashing piano keys- and doing a very bad job of that aswell!

[TheMasterAchim]

what are you trying there...

[GotLakai686]

You are pretty bad :S

[player0639]

Sorry, but you need more practice. Just being honest really.

[sadsack987]

Practice your left hand to right hand co-ordination. Timing is way off.

[chickenman94]

I feel much better about my own playing now.....JEEZE!! Still, he looks like he enjoyed it

[jonepomuk]

lol - who is this guy??

[AskJeeves17]

one word...shit

[KE5HOB]

I took this guy for History of Rock and Roll at SFA. He is actually a pretty decent musician, big nerd though.

[remo2012]

Guess I lost your vote.

[smitty747]

Not really sure WHY this guy put up this video. Probably the worst Boogie Woogie or 'attempt' at Boogie Woogie I've heard on Youtube. And what's this 'legend' business. The piano also sounded horrible, or perhaps it was just his terrible 'timing'. I won't be viewing any more of his video's, that's for sure. Even the newbie Boogie Woogie students on here sound MUCH better. Herbert, you need a LOT more practice before putting up any more video's.

[Franki23]

tienes que practicar más. La mano izquierda está muy descompasada.

[thesix107]

Your timing is off.

[Hicktownwy]

Definately no Jerry Lee or Jason D Williams. And over 57,000 views? ....Wtf?? This is probably close to the worst boogie improv I've ever seen. Sorry.

[magnusclarke]

Is this a joke?

[SuperYavana]

keep practicing

[balazsmisike]

SHIT

[kaitianchen10]

I have a friend in my philosophy class looks just like you

[StefanWijnja]

No offense, but don't fool yourself -.- LOL @ this.

[zzfy]

OMG! how can you be a professor? Your students are very "lucky" lol

[darioadrano]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­h  orribile

[abcd7730]

putain c'est horrible ! j'ai cru que j'allais mourir...

[CardsGS13]

Well played shame he appears to so uninterested in anything playing

[DrewJohnstonmusic]

um wow

I dont know what to say (besides that you suck)

Yeah my 9 year old sis can do that....

[AnimeSpellweaver]

I've seen your crap so gtfo.

[tercheff]

@DrewJohnstonmusic lol ^^ indeed he sucks

[The7DEX]

Poor. You must learn much more...

[MrGarbageman1965]

CRAP OFF NOTE SHIT

[HolbyCityHospital]

poor

[NGstalagmite]

yeah we all start out like that X3 clearly you get better over time x3

[MrJodolo]

actually, I thought it showed perseverence and a desire to please.

[thebenstrong]

its sad when almost if not every comment is negative. if it was me, i would have already removed the video

[JeffLamercy]

This is not so good...

[martinpleass]

Another thing on the planet I just don't understand. 48,073 people witnessing this appalling insult to music.

[MrMedderzEa]

@martinpleass, i know yeah it just ridiculous and it freakin featured video who made it a featured video and not other more talented people

[ApolloYama]

@martinpleass shut the fuck up your sad motherfucker

[FrederickJohnnie]

I think he lost his job at the piano pup lol

[MaraPapillon]

Geez this is crap! Go and hide ^^

[dterence7]

A true internet legend..... You can't even keep a steady tempo you useless, buffoon! Are you special needs? And what is with the bum notes you rhythmically challenged ape. A bit Avant-garde to say the least.

[pdbluesboy1]

oh man this sucks big time. bum notes bad timming. your about as good as i am . and im not a piano player.. im a guitar player

[dterence7]

I agree.

[pytonormen92]

[o4eno4en]

[AlexT1994]

this sucks..! your a try-hard and you have to much confidence.. you piano playing sucks

[thrillmo]

1:08 ha ha ha ha!!!!

[thrillmo]

i hope i don't sound like this

[hawaiianivan]

wtf?? typical pianist in his own rhythmic world..

[Jonza121]

Siis mitä helvettiä? You are so awesome!

[tercheff]

dude, have you ever heard about something called rythm ?

"internet legend herbert midgley"  just diserves one star (boogie woogie can't get less)

[Sahand119]

wtf i this! he plays so bad!

[Roystothecoolkid]

ur not a legend

[boogielike]

Is this a joke?

[brunobliss]

it's not bad when you are severely drunk at 4am with lots of people

[joasv]

you got some talent man keep it going i liek all of your vids :D thanx for the vids man:D

[spookyrufus]

[Alnifrazz]

Is this supposed to be music?

Wow, i was severely mislead.

[Malcalha]

legend ?

XD

[Sahand119]

LOL

[pyannaguy]

Which planet are you a legend on?

I'd say you're rhythmically-challenged and have a tin ear but that would be flattering you. Just play in private....please?

[OneJazzKid]

^was zur hoelle ist denn das??? auuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaa!!!

[tercheff]

i'm not sure you need a copyright no one is gonna copy it.But if you want to see a real boogie woogie player write down "johan blohm boogie woogie" on youtube.

[poistenec]

Do you know what boogie woogie is? what this C means? and.. what about rhytm.. where the hell you lost it? damn..

[Guitarist1298]

mitic player

[shephronqpan]

sucks

[Klusebakken]

What's this? A beginner? This is awful!!! Come back after 2-5 years of practice, or don't come back at all!!! This really SUCKS!!!

[ramraker]

i'm sure you'd do well playing a cowbell....seriously...

[MrMedderzEa]

lmao yeah your right there, i know newt bout piano playing but that was wayyyyyy off balance

[nujazzelectro]

Is this some kind of a joke?

[ivoryman996]

It started off alright, then it seemed to lag a little bit =/

[jennyfer27able]

Oh, Mann, du hast den Boogiegroove absolut nicht, sorry.......

[brokeass89]

quit looking at the camera and play your boogie woogie

[jennyfer27able]

Scheußlich!!! Das ist kein Boogie, das ist Stümperei..

[1mommas]

Sorry but this sounds choppy and amateurish.

Practice!

[ww05002]

With 12 years of Piano and 21 on Guitar, I would say that you might need to practice a little more before adding the next video. I normally never write on a page, but I thought you might need honesty. Your left is decent but the right needs WORK! take it as CC but you need to get the hands working together. -Tommy Myrtle Beach SC

[dogdoghong]

stop showing off, dude

[DonViMix09]

I like your perfomance.

[gabe31g]

Wow I have alot of words to discribe this guys which I rather not say . But dude your pretty bad. Ive never taken a piano lesson but I think i could play better than you. wow how did this guy 24,000 views just curious , If i had control I would take this video off wow

[hase0805]

OMG. quit playing, that sucks a lot, you know noting about boogie or rhythm or music at all...

[DPJBucks]

No offense but that is pretty bad. If you are learning then please announce it in the description. If you want to know how the boogie is done see the video of Tommy Johnson!

[msrick22]

sorry mate but i would give up right now if i played like that. sorry mate

[ceerijjay]

that guy is probably learning, guys ..take it easy.....but your grand piano looks good...!!!!

[Cessebabe]

you need a little more practice dude, im 17 and i can play better blues than this, no offence

[speciess]

ouchhhh

[mantasvai]

Dude, no ofence, but you suck, it looks like you were drunk while playing this

[remo2012]

I love Boogie Woogie!!!!

[reneimanse]

@remo2012 Dit is echt slecht..............en hij denkt dat hij kan spelen.........waardeloos!!

[troxyprojy]

needs some practice, not hateful words : need to get timing right, and which notes to hit : practice makes fluidity a proposition : listen to many others and watch their styles/riffs/tempos : then i'm sure you will become more fluent: I gave up when I first tried ....then tried again : am posting a quick boogie/blues i did a few weeks back...improvised...

[remo2012]

I love boogie woogie!

[jgergetz]

I truly appreciate the effort, but it is a little boreing.  Oh well, I myself couldn't even do that much!! So Thanks.

[danijl10]

LOL!!!...I pray you, say me "It's a joke!"!!!...

[arved1990]

lol das is ja wohl ma voll !!!schlecht!!! da sind mehr falsche als richtige noten

[01zaporozhets]

What cracks me up is not the playing, but the way he then looks at the camera. Timeless!

[plutominusone]

keep it up bro your doing good thanks

[Cassossman]

BLEAH!!!! (There are false notes) NOT OTHERS PLZ

[freeble123]

i found the video helpful.

[montanellosan]

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aadddddddddddddddddddddd

[malcjow]

BAD

[Mecojoni88]

Oh please man!!! PLEASE!!!

Stop!!!

What a Boogie!

BLEAH!

[doubl0001]

this is awful, cant believe how bad it is get so piano lessons

[garbage106]

im a blues piano pianist and we all started somewhere you people should post your own vids so we can laugh at you!!!! and beliive we would!!cock

[doubl0001]

im also a pianist (classical) and if you think this is good then your obviously a shit pianist as well as this man in the video

[jsbach40]

You can be as polite as you like...but this is awful. If you tried to Boogie-woogie to that you would end up in a wheelchair.

[dmxeater]

This is real shocking. Where the hell is the timing ? its either in truly incredible times signatures or completely out. That out.

and theres jazz notes, then theres just plain wrong notes.

Keep practicing mate

[koalasmash]

The onlly realy thing that i would suggest is if he sincapated the base from the melody, when you do that you get a real rag feel

[Mikeantler1]

help!

[PetterBG]

My hope of humanity decrease every day:(

[tjmpiano]

You need to spend quite a bit more time in the shed...If you spent half the time getting the timing instead of looking to the camera you would be better...

[mkschreder]

Is this supposed to be a joke?

[markthebadplumber]

are you registered deaf,lol

[NaXXXooo]

it suuuucckkssss

[harpingo]

WoW! That was so awful! Baaaaad timing, wrong chords completely out of whack. Why???????

[Anonymouslives]

Don't listen to the idiots Herbert, they're just jealous. You're doing great.

[Mikeantler1]

REAL JEALOUS!!!

[Anonymouslives]

Let's see your, or anyone else's videos who are criticizing Herb, where you can demonstrate you're better. since none of you will be able to do that, you should just keep your negative comments directed towards your mothers for failing to abort you. Herb has ACTUAL music degrees from an ACTUAL college. He plays several instruments, writes songs, creates music, and writes and creates movies. He is a very artistic and intelligent guy. Don't listen to the haters Herb, something tells me you don't.

[Mikeantler1]

If you think that sounds good in C then you have absolutely no understanding of how music should sound!!! Try listening to DR JOHN/ Tommy Johnson/basically listen to every one else except!!!WELL!!! YOU KNOW!!! The Mother thing!! Not cool!!!! God Bless You!!

[Anonymouslives]

What matters, is that he has degrees in music, therefore has an understanding of it that you will never have. His main instrument is not the piano anyways. He's obviously a nice guy, and doesn't need you to come on here critiquing him, when you don't have any BETTER music videos to show your credentials for valid criticism. Don't bring god into this, you weren't thinking about god when you left a negative comment for this guy. I recommend you go use some shotgun mouthwash, and end your misery.

[LoopieToopie2000]

All I can say at this point is MAJORITY RULES!!! Never said he wasnt a nice guy!! You should be a comedian!!! Shot Gun mouthwash pretty good but I think I will stick to Misery and Gin..

[Mikeantler1]

All I can say is MAJORITY RULES!!!Never said he wasnt a nice guy!!! you should be a comedian!!Shot Gun mouthwash pretty good!! but I think i will stick to Misery and Gin!!!!!!! loopie toopie was mine by accident!

[DanishBoogieBoy]

I must agree with the critics here. He's just no way near good.. It's a laugh to listen to.. Timing doesn't exist either heh.. What is his main instrument? just of pure curiosity..

[volteas]

EST CE BIEN DU BOOGIE????.

[Musichildren]

Sorry.... But it wasn't good you are bad :)

[Montanabe]

are u a professional :D?

[HarborBeachElf]

Sounds Great to me!!! Wow!

[FoxifiedNutjob]

Dude, you get all dressed up, nice piano, nice setting, titles on video, etc. I am ready to see a "performance" and you can't play sh*t?

Also, staring at the camera when you have very little experience, plain creepy

Aren't you embarrassed? I tell you what, I'll be embarassed for you.

[homerthegreat46]

the vids running backwards, i think

[kiwidealer]

You all get it wrong. He is playing in reverse.

Try it yourself one time. Indeed a legend

[skuderjay]

hey, if you're happy, I'm happy.

[matrox]

He aint no Jerry Lee Lewis. But I am sure he is still learning. I give him his props for having the guts to put this on youtube though to be criqued.

[sourcerror]

Agreed, but calling yourself a legend is an invitation for bashing.
