Jools Holland - River Boogie Woogie

[tdjdk]

Call me crazy, but if I EVER got hold of a time-machine, I would use it EXCLUSIVELY to go back and show Mozart some Boogie Woogie like this - Imagine where music would be today, if such a genious got his hands on Boogie Woogie ... Just sayin'

[RatterSlim]

Cripple Clarence Lofton changed his style due to finger trouble so you are in good company! BTW as Mr Ashgreenway says......incredible :)

[MrAshgreenway]

HOW did 6 people watch this video and think "This is shit...DISLIKE!"

Incredible.

[Jackieis60]

Hot! Whoof!

[coatsinthesun]

cant stop replaying....

[waldenhouse]

.....I just can't work it out - how come Jools is on the Telly, Makes Recordings, gets paid millions - and you can play like this and get nowt.......unless you're Jools??

[crazypianolady]

@waldenhouse Well it's one thing to be able to play these marvelous pieces and another to actually come up with them! If people became successful for just playing other people's stuff, then we'd never hear new music and it would never progress.

[charlesavec]

Wow you sure can play. I loved your version. Thank you

[ChippyMcBeal]

this great love the intro!

[jurkie3]

Ive been looking for sheet music, on-line lessons everything i can to be able to learn this song please help!!!

[neftalireyes8]

You rock!

[BraunTobias]

Very good. Is there somewhere the sheet?

[pianorags]

exellent playing 10/10

[ACEweVideos]

How do you learn the start by ear with all those 16th+ notes?!

[smitty747]

VERY NICE JOB! I'm brand new to learning Boogie Woogie, so you are indeed an inspiration to me. I've been playing since the 60's, but NEVER tried this style. So just getting into Boogie Woogie. Even tho we can't see your face, you're having FUN, cuz your leg is just a bouncin, lol, and I can 'feel' the excitement in your hands and arms. Keep up the AWESOME playing, and do share more video's. Many thanks....RJ...Ontario

[gibneb]

thats fantastic!

[SavantSvant]

Nice boogie. :)

How long have you've been playing in this style?

[TheMosseh]

Really enjoyed that :] Made my night!

[Morf3h]

Man that's unreal great stuff keep it up!

[MontLI]

You are doing it great !!

[vmax4ya]

Damn.. that was awsome..you may not be Jools..but you are one bad white boy....

[142ndMPs]

I don,t see a problem with your performance and I like your style. However, the tempo for this tune is too fast. Thank you for sharing your music with us and I have you listed as a favorite.

[paulallen34]

what can i say man just fantastic playing loved it.5 stars

[alki123456]

thats nice, thanks for that one

[greywolf8333]

Sounds very nice

[Graam41]

Thank you for your comment. The reason that I changed the bassline for this video was simply because I had cut my middle finger quite badly and so It was just easier to use this bassline lol.

Yes I take my hat off to BigMrC, his version is excellent but then again he is the one that transcribed it!

[sosome57]

I managed to scrounge up the music. That's a lot of notes. Reminds of that line from "Amadeus." the King: "... too many notes. Just take some out and it will be fine." Mozart: "Well, which ones would you have me take out?"  You're VERY good! Didn't seem to me that you missed even one, but then I'm not am expert.

[ferraribloke1992]

Excellent playing, now treat yourself and buy a real piano. Then playing it will be a hundred times better i assure you. Fantastic work though, you played it faithfully whilst still making it your own.

[maxmax0416]

happy feel☆

[MarkGarcia1070]

very very very nice

[marctrainor]

Boy, whoever this is: You've got the right stuff goin' on!!!!!! Marc Trainor.

[katiephampham]

wow i didnt know you played piano or owt, probably too drunk to converse about this stuff :) but this is some ace stuuf

keep up the good work :D x

[turntapzap]

God-given talent.

[DanishBoogieBoy]

Did you transpose your keyboard before you recorded that? The original is in C, but that one's in key of Eb, though you play it with the keys of C :)

Lasse

[THX138Driver]

Who do you think you're kidding? Jools was at your house and played on your keyboard, and it sure is nice.

[ravingeddie]

you got a tutorialon that left hand

[ravingeddie]

what kind of keyboard you using, as its got a great piano sound buddy,

[1959Werner]

You sound great!Just like Jools!

[VPieko]

Niiice dude!, I've been practising for 4 days and I'm only at 0.22 of the intro, plus I'm playing some fast parts in half the speed that you're playing it hahaha. Then again this is the first thing on the piano that I'm trying to learn so it's not too bad haha. More practising, more kickass music. You rock that piano duderino!

[eyestotheskies]

Freaking. Epic.

[VoshodN1]

and what about the printed music.. can you please send it to me.. I mean if you have it..

[johnone234]

crazy john...:]

[truutbeers]

Yamaha clavinova, great sound!

[Gazzar]

Very good mate

[ashepp3679]

What key are you playing that in? Its not the key of C which makes me think your keyboard is transposing.

[Graam41]

Erm i cant remember now as i recorded it last year haha, and yeah i recorded it without realising i had the transpose was set, so yeah its not in C :)

[queen1975]

It's been transposed into Eb

[infledermaus]

@Graam41 - Oy Vey! I'm not up on digital pianissmo, but you mean to tell me that you don't even have to do any musical brain work to transpose music these days? You just hit a button your piano and walla, you have a different key? Holy crap. But that's part of becoming a musician learning all those keys! You play really well, by the way. Great hands, too.

[thunderserbia]

Gread "handjob" :D.... so how long does it take to approximately to learn this piece from sheets?

[StereoMicroSystem]

Sheet music at

3 double yous [dot]aranuiarts[dot]co[dot]nz/­bw[dot]htm

Thanks but why didn't you just put the address. Great video. I'll be learning this soon. (Y)

[CMcC92nomis]

Where did you get the music for that?

That was top class

Well done mate!

[blaszczyszyn]

wow thats great! do you have the sheet music for it?

[hmmmeh]

Love the left hand pattern, very original for a boogie piece. Excellent version!!

[gregjarzabek]

nice, how long did it take you to learn it?

[ellienemma]

well done alexander

nice knee bobbing there

[BigMrC]

Graam - did you learn this by ear same as me? See my video response, interesting alternative left hand pattern, good job.

[Graam41]

Haha thanks, and no i actually used your transcription which is excellent by the way! I was just messing around with the left hand boogie styles and thought that that one was quite good, and i suppose I just got used to using that one haha!

Im trying to learn bumble boogie by ear at the moment, I think i messaged you a while back about bumble boogie?

[Dylan8417]
