I can understand how somebody can think this was sped up because of the way the video looks. many videos when ppl are playing even faster stuff the video looks more clear and not shaky but i agree as well thats it not sped up. the tempo was right on and i highly doubt you played this really slow being James Booker does not. nice job! huge fan of Booker myself. can play some stuff but DAMN HE IS SO HARD TO PLAY! took me a long time to learn Gonzos Blue Dream.
Thanks much! This is my own arrangement of the piece, and the regular sheet music is easily found. I listened to a lot of James Booker's recordings of this song, and that helped my style a little good deal. Good luck :)
Thanks for the nice compliment! James Booker is where it's at, and I just try to channel a little bit of him from time to time. I'm working on some more stuff that he played too....hopefully will get that posted soon!
sweet.....please more.....

Nice playing and excellent technique ! Can't believe someone thought that was sped up. Obviously not a pianist themselves ! Well done to you !

It is not cheated at all. It is recorded as I played it. There is nothing at all sped up.
