I'm sorry, not to be critical, but this is not a very good version of this classic for more reasons than I could mention here. Search out better ones live or on video, believe me they exist. This version is stiff, rinky dink, and played on a very average piano, to say the least. Soul-less. Would love to say otherwise, but simply can't.
Actually my brother Brooks did a far better version of it, which he learned from my mother who was a concert pianist. That is why I'm so familiar with the piece because I heard it frequently growing up in a better arrangement, played better, and on a 1927 Steinway which is still in my living room. As to the question of whether I can do better, no, as I'm a guitarist, not a pianist and the piece does not lend itself well to translation. Sorry to have caused offense. My response was spontaneous.
Bravo! This is an EXCELLENT version of my all time favorite boogie woogie tune. Very well done, young man! Sheer heaven to listen to, I must say. Keep up the good work! :)
I have learnt it from a sheet music and it wrote the chords what I have played there, but thanks for the comment, I will try "c-e-g" and "c-f-a", too. I think both sounds good :)
I concur with wesboki completely.Cam1987's version is absolute perfection

Sounds like a classically trained pianist trying to play boogie woogie. Too choppy and structured. Listen to the original and relax.

I'm sorry but do you know any about playing music? Can you do any better?
This is fine perfomance! I liked how you added your own original bits to the piece.. something that all the other note repeating videos lack!

Equally authentic - or even better - is freakyhead20's version. Search Honky Tonk Train Blues Laroquebrou 2007 (part lll). Or check out my version !

The most authentic version by far was posted by "cam1987" as "Honky Tonk Train". Check it out!

The left hand over the subdominant (C) is wrong. You have to play the
chords "c-e-g", "c-f-a" !!
