Bumble Boogie-Jack Fina Piano Solo

[markojanksob]

asian power !



[ladysoccerfan1998]

What is the tempo??? I don't have it on my sheet music

[TheEpilepticElephant]

Do you think I could get this song on piano sheet music??

[EmilyBearfan]

What fingers do you use during that first part? The chromatic-y sounding part. I'm trying to learn this, but my hands aren't quite big enough to stretch. Any ideas?

[wroyals07]

@EmilyBearfan I went 4313143232131313431313131 with finger if that makes any sense, sorry haven't played the song in a few years but if I were to play it now that's how it'd go i think...

[EmilyBearfan]

@wroyals07 Thanks! I''ll be sure to try it. 

[csmchemist]

COUNT!

[18mackenzie18]

VERY GOOD

how long did this take you to learn?

i have one month to leanr it :|

[monster98012]

you look like iwillbot

[maytuben]

jesus...

[midwife61]

Good - now have fun and swing it!  This is boogie woogie after all.

[wroyals07]

yea so i went back home, and checked the sheet music, and it was a Db, but i played it again with an Eb, and it sounded pretty good, so i dunno, either one works i guess. thanks for the comments though!

[1986Arthur]

on 0:33min u should play an Eb as the top note...not a Db;)

[wroyals07]

oh. ooops. nothing i could do to change it though, but thanks anyways, and if i end up playing it again, ill be sure to change it. wait have you played this before?

[1986Arthur]

yes i played it a long time before. and i could remember there was a Eb instead of Db...but anyway u played it really well!!

[supsup195]

I am playing this song right now, and you probably can't tap you foot to this song,

1. your not listening REALLY CLOSELY

2. the beat changes as the song goes on

3. the notes don't always land on a beat, which makes it confusing

[wroyals07]

yea it's rather confusing sometimes, but good luck!!

[wroyals07]

oh yea i've seen Plowright's. I think it's on my favorites list, but i dont remember. thank you for your comments.

[Carrieprincipal]

For fun, listen to Johnathan Plowright play

it in concert, or, also on this site, Bumble

Boogie, Freddy Martin- Jack Fina, 1946.

I think they are great, and yours is the best

on here next to them!!

[Carrieprincipal]

Listen to the recording of Jack Fina

playing it on the record in 1946, the speed

was absolutely even, yours wasn't, but of course, that was done in a studio, but you could use the glissandos in the end, as written in the music, they're great!! I have

never heard anyone play it as cleanly as

this, or as staccato, so that the notes don't

sound run together- I think that you have the technique to do it though!! I play this in

concert- it's damned difficult, so I'm not

criticizing!!!!

[wroyals07]

completely understandable, and i dont take it wrongly at all. ill see if i can find the recording and improve it, but i doubt i have the time to. =)

[Carrieprincipal]

You have good technic, however, this is

way too fast, have you ever heard Fina

play the original, you make it sound as

if it's wrong!! We know you have fast fingers, but this isn't the way to use them.

Why not choose something that is meant

to be smudged together by playing too fast?

[wroyals07]

hmmmm ok. i know some people put thumbs down on you, but im willing to listen. can you give me an accurate clip of bumble boogie so i can compare it?

[hockeeguy34]

thats good, one of these days we will have a play off

[wroyals07]

idk....you're pretty beastly...post some vids david. i havent heard your rachmaninoff yet.

[xXxPRATIKxXx]

fast fowarded.. not a pro..

[wroyals07]

are you f-ing kidding me? no, it wasnt fast forwarded! good lord dude. just cuz my fingers are going, take a look at my body. if fastforwarded, it wouldnt look so slow

[hockeeguy34]

what are you talking about!! that is not fast forwarded, just cause you cant play that fast doesnt mean others cant

[jetztgenug]

Great!

[jamiesparkles]

Very impressive!!! Props man!!!!

[unusualcatperson]

check out my bumble boogie :)

[tvseal0001]

Nicely done!  You must have practiced this quite a bit

[erosennin4203]

lol i have trouble playing the whole song lol

endurance in left hand isn't up to standard

but i got the speed lol

check my profile wroyals07 :)

[HellsSaints]

this is the best version of this song on youtube

cuz u put those intro chords in there before it breaks into the solo bass line

[VaughnGuetens]

put some SOUL into it, you play like a robot

[wroyals07]

yea i didnt play it for like 4 months before i posted this vid, and i was kinda sick of it, so i didnt have much emotion.

[wininm05]

okay i will, idk how to post shit on youtube though

[wroyals07]

yea you do put up a good point there...and in all honesty, when i posted that vid, i hadnt played it in like 4 months, so yea you may actually play it better...if you play piano well, that makes you decently intelligent, which means you should be able to figure out how to post a vid.

[wininm05]

i can play that shit, probably better than him

[wroyals07]

put your money where your mouth is

[Lillielyelilliah]

Those fingers move any faster, they'll snap off. O____o Holy BANANAS.

I love the Bumble Bee song, though. X3 Well done.

[Lillielyelilliah]

*Ahem* Bumble BOOGIE. X__x

We all call it the Bumble Bee song, though.

[wroyals07]

well...that name, and flight of the bumble bees, but Bumble Boogie was what appeared on the sheet music, so i just went with that

[TamakiTheBuilder]

Wow that sounds really good!

[80servant]

Good job. I'm learning this now. Any pointers you could offer?

[musicismylife12345]

needs more BOOGIE to it :D

[wroyals07]

everybody says i would have a good paintball double trigger finger, but i dunno.

[yellowguamrazr]
